Our Mission is to present unique and quality cinema in a festival atmosphere for the purpose of educating, stimulating and entertaining audiences.
The Festival will support and encourage the filmmaker by supplying essential networking opportunities and open dialogue with intelligent, creative and inquisitive consumers of film. The Festival will attract audiences from local, national and international markets as well as promote Sarasota, Manatee and surrounding Gulf Coast Communities as cultural centers which contribute to the financial and cultural success of our region.
