Where Stories Meet Commerce
We also welcome Santa Barbara County businesses and community partners to participate, promote their services, and build partnerships that strengthen our local creative economy.
​
Cinema is not just entertainment—it is a social and economic force. It brings people together, tells stories of the common person, and gives voice to real-life experiences that inspire, educate, and empower.
​
Through the SB Cine Trade Expo, CEYIFF’s vision extends beyond film—toward creating a shared space for innovation, diversity, and purpose.
Our Mission
To bridge creativity and commerce by connecting global film professionals, vendors, and creative industries through an inclusive platform that fosters innovation, education, cultural exchange, and trade partnerships.
