AppleBox was launched in 2007 by the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Although the first year's attendance was modest, just a couple hundred people, SBIFF Executive Director Roger Durling and the SBIFF Board of Directors knew it would grow. SBIFF joined forces with the Children's Museum in 2008 and attendance grew tenfold. Since then, attendance at AppleBox has been growing steadily.
APPLEBOX 2013 SCHEDULE:
All screenings at the Arlington Theater at 1317 State Street.
Admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis and starts at 10am.
