The Film Festivals are back! The 17th Annual Sarasota Film Festival is April 1 – 10 this year and once again the Through Women’s Eyes Film Festival will take place on the opening weekend, April 2 and 3.  Both festivals continue to attract stronger and more diverse submissions every year with many entries going on to successful mainstream runs.

The Through Women’s Eyes (TWE) Festival is run entirely by volunteers of the Gulf Coast Chapter of UN Women-USNC and is a major fundraiser for the Chapter. We are delighted to combine a fantastic selection of films with a fundraiser for the inspiring programs run by UN Women.

Watch for reservations for the TWE filmmaker’s reception Saturday the 2nd, held this year at the Art Center Sarasota. This is always a lovely event and an opportunity to meet and talk with the filmmakers and other supporting patrons.
