Julie Christie Tribute Santa Barbara International Film 2008 with comments from Film Critic Leonard Maltin and Director Norman Jewison. It was also announced that SBIFF will present a "Tribute To Julie Christie" on Friday, January 25 at the Lobero Theater. Christie will share a dialogue with Leonard Maltin about her recent experiences with her latest film, "Away From Her" and her body of work, along with movie clips and a montage. Over the length of Christie's career it has been said that she is "the most poetic of all actresses," mimicking her life after the socially conscious characters she has portrayed on screen. That is evident in "Away From Her," a beautiful yet unconventional love story, written and directed by Sarah Polley for which Christie has already received Golden Globe and SAG nominations, as well as Best Actress honors from the National Board of Review, National Society of Film Critics, the New York Film Critics Circle , among other notable critics associations. She portrays Fiona, an Alzheimer's patient who is put in a nursing home by her husband. While in the facility she falls in love with another man who is also a patient. The husband's love for Fiona causes him to perform an act of self-sacrifice in order to ensure her happiness. A special screening of "Away From Her" will be shown earlier that day.
