CIHS to hold ‘Documentary Double Feature’ for films
The Captiva Island Historical Society will host a screening of two films for the community.
The “Documentary Double Feature” will take place on Jan. 21 at 5 p.m. at Captiva Civic Center on Captiva. Historian, author and CIHS Board Member Betty Anholt will present the documentaries, “The Domain of the Calusa” and “Buck Key: Island of History and Mystery.” The event is free of charge.
“In the wake of Hurricane Ian, the CIHS remains inspired and energized by the resilience of our island community,” officials reported. “Thanks to the determination and resourcefulness of our board’s event committee and the cooperation of the CCA, the Captiva Island Historical Society is fortunate to be able to carry on our mission of sharing the history of the islands.”
Produced by the Florida Museum, “The Domain of the Calusa” is an award-winning film on South Florida’s Calusa Indians: the native coastal Indians of Southwest Florida. Filmed in 1995, it introduces a powerful, complex, and artistic Native American society, with which few Americans are familiar.
Produced by the CIHS, “Buck Key: Island of History and Mystery” is the surprising story of Buck Key, its Calusa occupants, and the early community and plantations that foreshadowed Captiva’s settlement.
There will be snacks available, plus a cash donation bar for beer and wine.
The Sanibel Captiva Trust Company is the presenting sponsor.
While admission is free, reservations are required.
