Sarasota Film Festival

        The 28th annual Sarasota Film Festival hosted in Sarasota, Florida, showcased the very best in film, presenting a variety to include features and shorts.





        Today, I attended the feature, Fish Fry & Fellowship, which was a film about friendship and community, directed by Paul Ratner and produced by Charles Williams, Durand Adams, and Petra Ratner. The story’s setting is Palmetto, Florida where the community was once segregated, but now come together every Friday to eat fish, catch up and reminisce. The weekly fish fry is what brings them all together resulting in lifelong reunions and friendships.


        A fish fry was to precede the film's screening but one of the notable personalities featured in the film, Manatee County football coach, civil rights icon and WWII veteran, Eddie Shannon, passed away this week at 104 and funeral services were held today.


        The film was enjoyable💕and the filmmakers and producers were present for a Q & A session. The festival runs from April 10 to April 19, featuring 200 films: 47 feature films and 39 shorts across various Sarasota venues. Ticket prices range from $20 to $50, so if you get a chance, attend some features and support the Arts. 🎥🎬
