SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) - Santa Barbara International Film Festival screened the movie “Spencer” directed by Pablo Larraín on Sunday followed by an in-person Q&A with the actress Kristen Stewart.
The event is warm-up in anticipation for the 37th film festival that is around the corner.
"Spencer" is the story behind the three days Princess Diana had to endure leading up to the royal family Christmas at the Queen's Sandringham Estate when the princess decides to divorce her husband, Prince Charles.
The movie is described by director Pablo Larraín as a “fable from a true story”, which gave Kristen Stewart a chance to deliver an extraordinary performance.
"To distill a person and examine their truest colors in a state of trauma makes sense. Those times are so revealing of who you are," said Stewart about the role.
The Twilight star will be honored with the American Riviera Award in March at the Arlington Theater.
"Career defining for her, she is totally lost, she becomes Diana. She loses her herself on the role," said Roger Durling, SBIFF Executive Director.
The actress answered a few question from Durling after the screening in front of a packed theatre.
The lineup for the festival will be announced in February 2022.
The in-person festival is set from March 2-12, this year.

Kristen will be honored with the American Riviera Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on 4 March 2022
Kristen Stewart the young but veteran actress who is popular with the public and beloved by film critics, will receive the American Riviera Award — which recognizes “actors who have made a significant contribution to American cinema” — at the 2022 Santa Barbara International Film Festival in recognition of her body of work and Oscar-buzzed portrayal of Princess Diana in Pablo Larrain‘s Spencer, the festival said Monday.
The 2022 edition of SBIFF will run from March 2-12. Stewart, 31, will participate in a conversation about her career — which includes notable roles in David Fincher‘s Panic Room (2002), the Twilight series (2008-2012) and Olivier Assayas‘ Clouds of Sils Maria (2015) and Personal Shopper (2016) — and receive the award on March 4.
“Seeing Stewart in Spencer is not a question of a star being born, for Kristen was already one, but rather witnessing one coming into her own as a major cinematic force,” SBIFF executive director Roger Durling said in a statement.
Previous recipients of the American Riviera Award include Delroy Lindo, Renée Zellweger, Viggo Mortenson, Sam Rockwell, Jeff Bridges, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Mark Ruffalo, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, Robert Redford, Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese, Annette Bening, Sandra Bullock, Mickey Rourke, Tommy Lee Jones, Forrest Whitaker, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Kevin Bacon and Diane Lane.
