Women's Panel: SBIFF2026

As part of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the Women’s Panel brings together an exceptional group of Oscar-nominated and acclaimed filmmakers for an in-depth conversation on creative collaboration, leadership, and the often unseen work behind the camera.

Moderated by Madelyn Hammond, the panel highlights voices across multiple disciplines—costume design, sound, directing, and producing—offering rare insight into how some of this year’s most celebrated films came to life.

Panelists include Miyako Bellizzi (Marty Supreme), Laia Casanovas (Sirat), Yvett Merino (Zootopia 2), Natalie Musteata (Two People Exchanging Saliva), Alisa Payne (The Perfect Neighbor), and Ashley Schlaifer (Train Dreams).

A thoughtful, wide-ranging discussion that celebrates the artistry, craft, and leadership of women shaping the future of cinema.
