ST. LOUIS - EntSun -- The 28th Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF), which kicked off on Nov. 7, concluded on Nov. 17. Total attendance was 26,329, including approximately 10,000 St. Louis-area students (some schools participating in our Cinema for Students program have not yet reported numbers).
SLIFF screened 389 films in 214 public programs: 81 narrative features, 63 documentary features, 227 shorts, and 18 film programs exclusive to Cinema for Students. The fest also featured 12 special-event programs, including four master classes and our closing-night awards presentation. This year's festival had 63 countries represented.
The festival honored a trio of significant film figures with our annual awards. St. Louis natives Josh Aronson, an Oscar-nominated documentary director for "Sound and Fury," and Brad Schiff, the animation supervisor for LAIKA Studios and Oscar nominee for "Kubo and the Two Strings," each received our Charles Guggenheim Cinema St. Louis Award, and Oscar-nominated director/producer Lisa Cortés ("Precious," "The Remix," "The Apollo") received our Women in Film Award. SLIFF also presented longtime donor and SLIFF supporter Marcia K. Harris with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
