Rehoboth Beach Summer Film Reviews

29 Jun 2009 - 17 Aug 2009

THE REHOBOTH BEACH FILM SOCIETY ANNOUNCES THE START OF SUMMER FILM REVIEWS IN THE REHOBOTH AREA. Beginning, June 29, the Film Society will host summer film reviews on eight Monday evenings, beginning at 7:00 p.m. at Cape Wine & Spirits’ upstairs meeting room. The free, film screenings, open to the public, are used to assist with the film selection process for the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival (November 11 -1 5, 2009). Each session will include the screening of a documentary or a feature and a short, time permitting. Reviewers are asked to complete a rating form and may also join in the post film discussion. Festival Program Director Joe Bilancio will facilitate the reviews so you are sure to enjoy stimulating discussions about what factors determine a film’s suitability for a Festival. Summer Film Review sessions will take place June 29, July 6, July 13, July 20, July 27, August 3, August 10, & August 17. Cape Wine & Spirits is located on 34164 Citizen Dr., Lewes (the old Lowes location). On special nights, attendees will receive a discount on certain Cape Wine & Spirits beverages. Discount nights will not be announced in advance. So be sure to attend all screenings! Please remember that screener copies of films are provided as a courtesy to the Film Society for the specific purpose of reviewing for consideration as a festival entry. These copies may be of lesser technical quality and are not designed to be projected on the big screen. Despite these circumstances, review sessions provide a great opportunity for film enthusiasts to see a broad scope of films from emerging directors. The Film Society is still looking for a Rehoboth Beach location. Primary needs include adequate parking, high ceilings to accommodate a screen, and seating for 50-60. Suggestions will be accepted at 645-9095 ext. 1. The mission of the Rehoboth Beach Film Society is to promote film as an art form through community outreach and educational film initiatives for all ages. The Film Society sponsors the Art House Theater, monthly screenings, community outreach initiatives, special events, and the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival (November 11-15, 2009). The Rehoboth Beach Film Society is supported, in part, by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency committed to promoting and supporting the arts in Delaware.
