The first film festival was held in Venice in 1932, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was the first film to be screened at the festival. How about that little trivia? Since then, film festivals have been established throughout the world. Some of them better than others.
When the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film launched in 1998 it was done after a year of discussing the possibility of showing independent films in local restaurants. Since then it has become a respected Mid-Atlantic event. It is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization, as well. Film buffs come from the Mid-Atlantic area to enjoy features, documentaries, and shorts.
For complete info., please visit http://www.rehobothfilm.com.

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society works hard year-round to provide locals and visitors wonderful film programs for our coastal community. They promote the art of film, entertain, educate and enrich the cultural life of Southern Delaware.
In 1998 the first Rehoboth Beach Film Festival appeared in Rehoboth Beach and since then who would have thought that in this small community a major Film Festival would developed. Not only are film for adults, but there are plenty for children, as well.
The idea started in 1997, when a group of film enthusiast started discussing the idea of showing films in local restaurants. The Rehoboth Beach Film Society is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization.
The next Rehoboth Beach Film Festival takes place from Wednesday, November 6th through Sunday, November 10th. Volunteers are needed now to distribute in October posters throughout Rt 1, Dewey Beach, and Milton. Please call 302-645-9095 if you can help them out.
An evening of Film, Fun, and Fundraising – Catch Festival Fever will take place on Saturday, October 5th at the home of Wendy and Bob Rosenblatt at 7:00 p.m., located at the Rehoboth Beach Yacht & Country Club in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
