  • Florida on Film Film on Florida Centerpiece Films These Films Are Hot Hot Hot
    ABOUT THE ARTWORK Last December, more than twenty students entered a competition created in partnership between the Sarasota Film Festival and Ringling College of Art and Design. Entrants were tasked with taking the tagline “See and Be Seen” and creating artwork that would breathe life into this year’s SFF campaign, serving as inspiration for the entire season. After presenting their ideas and works to SFF’s Board and staff, the winning Artist was chosen. Sarasota native Tyler Mathis has created a triptych of posters organized around the homophonic, multi-dimensional play on words, as both See/Sea and Seen/Scene can be used interchangeably. You will see Tyler’s artwork throughout SFF on street banners, advertisements, trailers and merchandise. Additionally, his prize for winning the contest was to secure a staff position as animator of SFF’s screenwash, the sponsor thank you animation that runs ahead of all films during the Festival. Throughout the Festival, you will also see SFF logo animations created by Ringling College of Art and Design’s Motion Design Department. This partnership spanning many years gives the sophomore class of Motion Design Department students a semester to create matching 15 second logo reveals and 30 second looping backdrop animations to be used at various Festival events. Congratulations go to Brittany Maugeri and Pramod Sonea whose animation will kick off the Festival on Opening Night, March 31st. Many thanks to Ringling College, the staff, and the students of the Collaboratory and Motion Design programs for their hours of creativity and dedication.

  • The Historic Preservation Support Document
    The Historic Preservation Support Document The inventory and analysis in the Support Document provide the foundation for the Plan portion of this Chapter. The Support Document is not adopted. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SARASOTA PALEOINDIAN CULTURE PERIOD (12,000 to 9,500 years ago) Paleoindians, the earliest known inhabitants of Florida, lived as nomadic hunters from 12,000 to 9,500 years ago. They roamed over a landscape very different from today. With a lower sea level, Florida’s coastline was much farther out, especially along the Gulf Coast. The total landmass of Florida was about twice the size as it is today and present day Sarasota was located inland. The climate was also different – arid and cool. Water was in short supply and the best sources for water were rivers and watering holes, such as the deep springs of Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Springs south of Sarasota. The cool and arid climate, as well as expanded landmass, meant a different array of plants and animals. Mammoths, camelids, and giant land tortoises existed during this period and fossils of these animals have been discovered in and around Sarasota. Typical plants of this period included scrub oak, pine forests, grass prairies, and savannahs. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of human campsites at Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Springs. Paleoindians camped around what were then sinkholes and artifacts discovered at these springs demonstrate how animals were killed, butchered, and eaten. Underwater archaeological excavations at Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Springs have expanded our knowledge of the Paleoindian period in Sarasota and Florida as well as the North American continent.
