Rounding out the panel participants, representatives of all 10 Oscar-nominated movies will populate the Producers Panel on February 10, while seven of the 10 screenwriting hopefuls will share insights about their approach at the Writers Panel, now held at night on February 12. Five more Academy-recognized artists discuss their craft at the Women’s Panel on February 17. Meanwhile, as expected, three musicians who will get SBIFF’s Artisan Award on February 11 claimed Grammys last weekend: Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas for penning Barbie’s “What Was I Made For?” and Oppenheimer composer Ludwig Göransson.
