Rehoboth Beach Film Society & Camp Rehoboth co -- present Another Take

15 May 2008 - 17 May 2008

REHOBOTH BEACH FILM SOCIETY, CAMP REHOBOTH PRESENT THREE-DAY FILM SERIES ANOTHER TAKE. The Rehoboth Beach Film Society and CAMP Rehoboth co-present the bi-annual, gay and lesbian themed film series Another Take, on May 15, 16, and 17. All screenings will be held at 7:00 PM, in the upstairs screening room at the Movies at Midway. Tickets are $7.00 and can be purchased by calling RBFS at 302-645-9095. SEATING IS LIMITED AND ADVANCED TICKET PURCHASES ARE ENCOURAGED. Another Take kicks off on Thursday, May 15, at 7:00 PM, with the women’s comedy Butch Jamie. This quirky, gender-bending comedy features an out-of-work lesbian actor willing to try anything for a role. Dressing up as "Femme Jamie" for auditions, struggling actress Jamie Klein (writer/director Michelle Ehlen) continually faces rejection as she fails to be a typical leading lady. So, Jamie decides to take a different approach and audition as herself: "Butch Jamie." This ends up landing her a part as a man, and despite the offense that she takes in being offered a male role, she accepts. Jamie's bitterness quickly subsides as she starts to have fun as her male alter-ego. The plot thickens as Jamie unintentionally peaks the interests of Jill, a sexy yet straight woman on set. [2007, Runtime: 84 min., Not rated, but recommended for mature audiences] The film series continues on Friday, May 16, at 7:00 PM, with The Godfather of Disco. Based on Mel Cheren’s powerful autobiography, My Life and the Paradise Garage: Keep On Dancin’, this documentary is a trip down memory lane for fans of ‘70s-era dance music. Through a series of interviews with a who’s who of the dance music community, The Godfather of Disco uses the arc of Mel’s life to examine the early 70’s musical and cultural currents that gave birth to disco, the rise of the famous nightclub Paradise Garage, and the onslaught of HIV/AIDS and it’s terrible impact on New York City. The film follows Mel’s activist years as he harnesses the power of music to fight AIDS via his charity work for Gay Men’s Health Crisis and 24hrs for Life/LifeBEAT. Through it all, Mel has been there, done that, lived to tell the tale and continues to do so today. [2007, Runtime: 84 min., Not rated, but recommended for mature audiences] Another Take finishes on Saturday, May 17, at 7:00 PM with This Kiss. This lesbian drama focuses on Lucy and Juliet, who were inseparable best friends whose lives took very different paths after high school. Ten years later, Juliet turns up unannounced at Lucy’s front door on the day of their high school reunion. The two women barely recognize each other, and spend a long, alcohol-soaked afternoon struggling to reconnect. Before they can repair their friendship, however, they must confront the heartbreaking event that tore them apart. Can the bitterness of 10 years be erased by a simple admission of the women’s attraction to each other? [2007, Runtime: 65 min., Not rated, but recommended for mature audiences]
