Alongside the screenings, CIFF will hold panels, filmmaker Q&amp;As, and various parties across a<br \/>revue of Coronado\u2019s best locations. CIFF&#8217;s renowned ShortsFest Exhibition regularly hosts BAFTA- and<br \/>Oscar-nominated shorts, while the main slate has previously featured award-winning films like<br \/>\u201cSentimental Value,\u201d \u201cDead Man&#8217;s Wire,\u201d \u201cTrain Dreams,\u201d \u201cA Real Pain,\u201d \u201cFlow,\u201d \u201cSing Sing,\u201d \u201cCODA,\u201d<br \/>\u201cNomadland,\u201d and \u201cRoma,\u201d among others.<br \/>A highlight of the festival remains the Leonard Maltin Industry Tribute Awards, which will take place on<br \/>Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026. Held in the classic Crown Room at the Hotel del Coronado and hosted by<br \/>celebrated film critic and historian Leonard Maltin, the Tribute Awards highlight icons and visionaries<br \/>whose careers have shaped the filmmaking industry. Honorees span the full craft, from actors and<br \/>directors to screenwriters, costume designers, music editors, and stunt professionals who traditionally<br \/>work outside the spotlight. Last year, two honorees (Delroy Lindo and Deborah L. Scott) went on to<br \/>receive Academy Award nominations. Additional past awardees include Alexandre Desplat, Andy Garcia,<br \/>Beau Bridges, Chlo\u00e9 Zhao, Cloris Leachman, Diane Ladd, Diane Warren, Geena Davis, Kris Bowers,<br \/>Richard Dreyfuss, and more.<br \/>Since its first festival in 2016, CIFF has become a destination for filmmakers and cinephiles alike,<br \/>blending laid-back Southern California charm with sophisticated, awards-season programming. Events<br \/>are presented across beautiful venues throughout the island, including the iconic Hotel del Coronado, a<br \/>longtime Hollywood favorite and the festival&#8217;s presenting sponsor, with screenings at the Village Theater<br \/>in downtown Coronado. With its intimate atmosphere and strong industry ties, CIFF offers a unique<br \/>opportunity to celebrate storytelling, connect with creators, and experience cinema at its most<br \/>meaningful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Coronado Island Film Festival (CIFF) will feature five days of narrative features,documentaries, short films, and Oscar-contending titles&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":419278,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,76,75],"class_list":["post-419277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=419277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/419277\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/419278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=419277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=419277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=419277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
