It’s Not Too Early to Start Thinking About Summer Camp!

Once again, Sarasota Film Society will be hosting its second annual Summer Film Camp for middle school students. Similar to last year, classes will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM beginning the week of July 9th. The program will consist of an intense six-week program where students will have an opportunity to explore all aspects of filmmaking, from inception to the actual completion of their very own film. Last year’s participants shared in the excitement of viewing their film as part of our annual Cine-World Film Festival.

SFS Presents Blind Pass, a Local Thriller

Join Sarasota Film Society as we present two special screenings of locally-produced feature Blind Pass. The first will be held at Lakewood Ranch Cinemas on the Thursday, April 18th, and the second at Burns Court on the Saturday April 20th. From the Blind Pass Facebook page:

“Blind Pass” is a dramatic thriller reminiscent of “Basic Instinct” and “Last Tango in Paris”…and then some…that reminds us all never to take anything in Life for granted. The bold, edgy indie film stars film legend Armand Assante who leads an ensemble cast featuring Chris McKenna, Ed Lauter, Michael McGlone, Mary Rachel Dudley, Sydney Rouviere and reuniting with Writer-Director Steve Tatone, his “Beautiful Noise” star and “Blind Pass” Leading Lady, Danielle White. The film was shot on location in Winter/2011-2012 in Sarasota, Florida & Dublin and County Clare Ireland. Now in post production, the film is set to debut on the international film festival circuit in the coming months.

Tickets to both screenings are available on our website and at the box office.
