Such sad news about the passing of the wonderful Michelle Trachtenberg, who attended the Sarasota Film Festival in 2007. May she rest in peace.

About Sarasota Film Festival
The Sarasota Film Festival, founded in 1998, is an international film festival hosted in Sarasota, Florida and viewable from around the world. The festival is typically held each April, in support of its mission: to celebrate the art of filmmaking and the contribution of filmmakers by hosting an international film festival and developing year-long programs for the economic, educational, and cultural benefit of our community.

Films that are close to selling out go into “DAY OF” mode, with some tickets placed on reserve for pass-holders and filmmakers. If more general public tickets can be released, they are sold at the “Day Of” price on the day of the show. To avoid paying the higher price, we encourage patrons to consider buying SFF memberships, which allow for ticket sales before the general public, exclusive discounts and a host of other benefits that can be found here.
