THE MONK AND THE GUN

Join us on the green carpet for an exclusive screening of THE MONK AND THE GUN, a charming and provocative feature film which just premiered at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals. Come and raise a glass in support of the ILLUMINATE Film Festival’s 10th Anniversary and our exciting move to Santa Barbara from Sedona, Arizona!

ILLUMINATE is the leading festival for evolutionary cinema — films that uplift us, elevate our collective dreaming, and inspire lasting personal and social transformation. As part of our new Santa Barbara chapter, we are launching the ILLUMINATE Filmmaker Accelerator educational program for emerging visual storytellers who are called to create a better world through the power of cinema.

There will be a catered reception with a silent auction followed by our presentation of The Monk and the Gun. 

In the spirit of slow fashion and sustainability, we encourage you to wear your favorite thrifted, upcycled, locally-made, or natural-fiber “cinema-chic” clothing – with a reminder that our greenest clothes are the ones we already own!

Purchase single tickets or save 10% when you buy a 4-pack and invite friends who would love to support ILLUMINATE.
