Nothing But The Truth - SBIFF Opening Night

Thursday, January 22, 2009, 08:00pm

SBIFF 2008 will kick off at the historic Arlington Theatre with the critically acclaimed thriller "Nothing But The Truth" directed by Rod Lurie and featuring tremendous performances by Kate Beckinsale, Vera Farmiga, Alan Alda, Angela Bassett, David Schwimmer, Matt Dillon and Noah Wyle.

"'Nothing But The Truth' is one of the most powerful films we've ever had for Opening night, and we gave it that slot because it deserves to be seen," commented Durling. The film features Beckinsale as Washington, DC political journalist Rachel Armstrong, who writes an explosive story about a government scandal in which she reveals the name of a covert CIA agent (Farmiga). When a special government prosecutor demands she divulge her source, she refuses and finds herself behind bars struggling to defend the principles she has based her career upon.

Following the Opening Night screening, which is sponsored by UGG Australia and Studio 7, the festivities will continue with a party at Paseo Nuevo in downtown Santa Barbara.
