Tickets are available for the Sanibel Historical Museum and Village\u2019s next Twilight Talk program.<\/p>\n

The next one in the series, \u201cWreckage, Resilience & Recovery: THE HISTORY OF HURRICANES ON SANIBEL,\u201d will take place on Nov. 8 from 7 to 9 p.m. at BIG ARTS on Sanibel, with doors opening at 6 p.m. Held in partnership with BIG ARTS, it will feature a film screening and discussion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s definitely an interest in the documentaries that we\u2019re producing with Ken (Sneeden),\u201d village Executive Director Pamela Miner said. \u201cWe want to share our history, and the documentaries is one of the tools that we are using.\u201d<\/p>\n

About an hour long, \u201cWreckage, Resilience & Recovery\u201d premiered in February 2024.<\/p>\n

In the century before destructive Hurricane Ian battered Sanibel in September of 2022, the island was hit at least six times by monster hurricanes: 1910, 1921, 1926, 1944, 1960 and 2004. Some of these brought deadly storm surges. Imagine a time without warning systems and no Causeway for escape. Taken from historic transcripts, hear the actual words of early settlers brought to life by voice actors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a nice scope and overview of about 100-plus years of hurricanes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor 100 years, we\u2019ve had these experiences of hurricanes on Sanibel and how each of those shaped the natural environment, the community,\u201d Miner added. \u201cIt shows that progression of response, recovery and resilience each time.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the screening, Sneeden will discuss \u201cDocumentary as Art Form\u201d as the filmmaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe process as an artistic expression and as an art form,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Sneeden is an award-winning journalist and television station executive. Founded in 1991, his Fort Myers-based multimedia company produces high-impact videos and multimedia presentations for national clients. In 2016, Sneeden brought his skills to the islands. His research ethic, along with his passion for local history, has resulted in numerous full-length documentaries created for the village, along with the Captiva Island Historical Society.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll also have a Q&A,\u201d Miner said.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $25.<\/p>\n

Popcorn will be available, along with a cash bar starting at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n

The public is invited to reserve a seat.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great community gathering to learn about the history of hurricanes on Sanibel, but also learning about the art of documentary filmmaking,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is local history, this is our history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very excited about the upcoming collaborations that we have with the Sanibel historical museum this year,\u201d BIG ARTS Executive Director Lee Ellen Harder added. \u201cIt\u2019s been since before the hurricane that we\u2019ve been able to collaborate \u2014 we hope you\u2019ll join us at BIG ARTS.\u201d<\/p>\n
