Santa Barbara Film Festival’s Must-Have Souvenir? Rubber Ducks!

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — This year, Santa Barbara International Film Festival souvenirs included rubber ducks.

SBIFF Festival Director Roger Durling has been collecting rubber ducks for years, making them a fitting and popular keepsake.

A former film student of Durling even had actress Zoë Saldaña sign one.

"I love this rubber ducky, and I had it signed by Zoë," said Diego Moreno. "Roger used to be a professor of mine. He is still probably my favorite professor I have ever had at Santa Barbara City College. His class was so much fun."

In addition to rubber ducks, fans had the chance to purchase SBIFF T-shirts, umbrellas, and more. Some bought as many as 10 at a time.

The festival wrapped up on Sunday with the film A Missing Part at the Arlington Theatre.
