Samuel Goldwyn Films has acquired U.S. rights to "Tangerines," one of the five Academy Award nominees for Best Foreign Language Film. Written and directed by Zaza Urushadze, "Tangerines" follows an elderly Estonian man who, in 1990s-era war-torn Georgia, cares for two wounded soldiers across opposite sides of the battle line. A spare and lonely portrait of a man in isolation a la Bergman's "Wild Strawberries" -- though more heartfelt -- "Tangerines" has been picking up buzz and accolades along the festival circuit since 2013, playing in Warsaw where it won the Best Director and Audience Awards, Palm Springs, Seattle and more. It was also a foreign Golden Globe nominee. Produced by Estonia's Allfilm and Georgia's Cinema 24, the film stars Lembit Ulfsak, Elmo Nuganen, Mikhail Meskhi, Giorgi Nakashidze, Raivo Trass, and Zurab Bealishvili. Samuel Goldwyn plans a 2015 release.

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival has unveiled its 2015 line-up which includes films representing 54 countries, 23 world premieres and 53 U.S. premieres. The U.S. premiere of Niki Caro’s McFarland USA will close out the 30th fest. Based on the 1987 true story and starring Kevin Costner and Maria Bello, the film follows novice runners from McFarland, an economically challenged town in California’s farm-rich Central Valley, as they give their all to build a cross-country team under the direction of Coach Jim White (Costner), a newcomer to their predominantly Latino high school. The unlikely band of runners overcomes the odds to forge not only a championship cross-country team but an enduring legacy as well.
The festival runs from January 27-February 7.
Below is the list of World and U.S. Premiere films followed by the list of titles by sidebar categories.

A self-acknowledged "showcase for Academy Award frontrunners," the Santa Barbara International Film Festival is often overlooked for the actual films that earn it festival status. An amalgamation of international discoveries and ’merica’s circuit highlights, the Sbiff curates a week of best-of-the-best to pair with their star-praising. The 2015 edition offers another expansive selection, bookended by two films that aren’t on any radars just yet. Sbiff will open with "Desert Dancer," producer Richard Raymond’s directorial debut. Starring Reece Ritchie and Frieda Pinto, the drama follows a group of friends who wave off the harsh political climate of Iran’s 2009 presidential election in favor of forming a dance team, picking up moves from Michael Jackson, Gene Kelly and Rudolf Nureyev thanks to the magic of YouTube. The festival will close with "McFarland, USA," starring Kevin Costner and Maria Bello. Telling the 1987 true story of a Latino high school’s underdog cross-country team,...
