Despite a tough economy, the Palm Springs International Film Festival smashed revenue and attendance records in a 14-day run that ended Monday.

Box office figures rose to $1,126,900, up from $1,077,471, despite featuring fewer films than last year and fewer screenings than in 2007 in order to create a smoother operation.

Attendance also rose from 125,988 to 129,677, making it one of the three most attended film festivals in the United States, along with the Tribeca and Seattle festivals. The latter was co-founded by Palm Springs' executive director, Darryl Macdonald.

All of the festival passes sold out, including the “six-packs,” which board chairman Harold Matzner said accounted for 30,000 tickets.

Matzner called the festival numbers “amazing in this economic environment and a reflection of the outstanding product brought to the public by our executive director Darryl Macdonald, our film programming department and our awards gala staff.”

The Palm Springs Awards Gala also set a revenue record with $1,037,000 — up from $1,007,000 in 2008 — with 1,600 people.

The gala honored more A-list stars than ever before, many of whom earned Academy Award nominations Thursday, including Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Gus Van Sant (“Milk”); Ron Howard and Frank Langella (“Frost/ Nixon”); Amy Adams (“Doubt”); and Michael Shannon (“Revolutionary Road”).
