The Sarasota Film Festival has announced the full slate of programming for its 2025 film festival, which takes place April 4-13. This year’s lineup includes 37 feature films, four world premieres, 10 Florida premieres and 41 short films.

The festival opens April 4 with Marcella, the story of renowned chef Marcella Hazan, who changed the way we cook and experience Italian food, and who spent her last years on Longboat Key. Through her cookbooks and teaching—and an uncompromising commitment to Italian tradition—her impact was felt in millions of American home kitchens. Hazan’s husband Victor and son Giuliano Hazan, as well as director Peter Miller, will attend the festival in-person and participate in a post-screening talkback.
