Fifteen years.

This is the milestone the Santa Fe International Film Festival is marking this year.

The festival runs Wednesday, Oct. 18, through Sunday, Oct. 22, in Santa Fe.

Liesette Bailey, SFiFF executive director, is excited to mark the 15th anniversary of the festival.

鈥淭his is a big one, and I think the increase of both local and national support this year is a testament to our long-standing festival and wonderful reputation in the film world,鈥� Bailey says. 鈥淲e spend the entire year preparing for this very special week in October, where filmmaker鈥檚 from all over descend upon Santa Fe for a week of movies and festivities.鈥�

SFiFF opens with the film, 鈥淔oe,鈥� on Wednesday, Oct. 18.

The film stars Academy Award nominees Saoirse Ronan and Paul Mescal. It is a haunting exploration of marriage and identity set in an uncertain world.

Hen and Junior farm a secluded piece of land that has been in Junior鈥檚 family for generations, but their quiet life is thrown into turmoil when an uninvited stranger (Aaron Pierre) shows up at their door with a startling proposal. Based on best-selling author Iain Reid鈥檚 novel, directed by Garth Davis.

Bailey says when the festival takes place, it鈥檚 the culmination of a year worth of work.

鈥淭his year is very special,鈥� Bailey says. 鈥淲e will be having two receptions that celebrate film 鈥� one at the Governor鈥檚 Mansion on Thursday, Oct. 19, and one at the new Vladem Contemporary sponsored by Aspect Studios on Saturday, Oct. 21.鈥�

The festival is also honoring Sterlin Harjo, the co-creator of 鈥淩eservation Dogs,鈥� at the Lensic Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Oct. 21.

鈥溾�楻eservation Dogs鈥� was just named Variety鈥檚 No. 6 Best TV Show of the 21st Century, so I think it is very momentous for us to present Sterlin Harjo our Visionary Award on the completion of his ground-breaking show,鈥� Bailey says.

Looking back at the 15 years since the festival鈥檚 inception, Bailey says the festival鈥檚 mission was to bring cutting-edge film to Santa Fe while attracting a variety of filmmakers.

鈥淚 think we have stayed true to that mission by also adding a little Hollywood in there by opening the festival with a movie like 鈥楩oe,鈥� 鈥� Bailey says. 鈥淪FiFF has also grown to embrace the international side of film, presenting a good amount of foreign submissions to the Academy Awards.鈥�

This year鈥檚 list includes 鈥淭ot茅m鈥� from Mexico, 鈥淎bout Dry Grasses鈥� from Turkey, 鈥淧erfect Days鈥� from Japan, 鈥淭he Promised Land鈥� from Denmark, and 鈥淔allen Leaves鈥� from Finland.

Planning for this year鈥檚 festival took a turn with the Writers Guild of America and the SAG-AFTRA strikes taking place at the same time.

Bailey says festivals had to be creative 鈥� including SFiFF.

鈥淲e鈥檝e always been a director鈥檚 festival, so highlighting directors was nothing new for us, but this year it seems particularly apropos.鈥�

Bailey says there were 3,800 films submitted from 101 different countries.

The process begins with the screening committee, which is made up of film professional and film lovers living all over the world.

鈥淭he programming team then prepares the selections that will play in the official competition,鈥� Bailey says. 鈥淲e also travel all over the world to see early screenings of movies throughout the year, and bring those films to Santa Fe as special presentations.鈥�

Bailey was born and raised in Santa Fe and feels a responsibility to keep the festival as a homegrown event.

鈥淚 have always loved film, community organizing and Santa Fe, so while I didn鈥檛 necessarily know I would be the executive director of the largest film festival in New Mexico, it does align perfectly with my passions,鈥� Bailey says. 鈥淗aving the chance to further the work of new artists, and celebrate some of my absolute heroes, like Sterlin Harjo, feels like such important work.鈥�
