Sarasota Film Festival’s Free Outdoor Screenings To Be Presented In Venice & Sarasota This October-December
What can be better than taking the family, your sweetheart or maybe a group of pals, along with a picnic, some blankets and, with some celestial accommodation, a beautiful moonlit night and heading to your local park to spend the evening with King Kong, Jimmy Stewart, Curious George or an onslaught of feathered fiends???
With the Fall 2006 edition of the SARASOTA FILM FESTIVAL’s acclaimed MOONLIGHT MOVIES series – a series of FREE outdoor movie screenings that drew over 10,000 film fans during the Spring program – you can!!!
MOONLIGHT MOVIES gets underway Friday, October 13, 2006 in Venice with Curious George, and continues for the next two Fridays in Venice with The Birds (10/20), and Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride (10/27). On Friday, November 3, the location moves (but the fun stays the same) to Sarasota with a presentation of Over The Hedge followed by King Kong (11/17), Nanny McPhee (12/1), It’s A Wonderful Life (12/8) and The Polar Express (12/15).
