“A film is – or should be- more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.” s. kubrick

Rebecca – Artists who happen to be mothers are the focus of this Cinema & Art.
Discover local mother and artists, Rebecca Raubacher in the short documentary, Rebecca. Directed by her daughter, Riley Raubacher, the film provides an intimate glimpse into the Rehoboth artist’s life as he builds a career combining her love of art and horses. 6 minutes.
The next documentary asks why in a half-changed world, women often feel they need to choose between mothering and working, their children’s well being and their own.
Who Does She Think She Is? was directed by Academy Award Winning filmmaker, Pamela Tanner Boo and it features 5 fierce women who refuse to choose. Through their lives the film explores some of the most problematic choices female artists are forced to make – between mothering and creativity, partnering and independence, and economics and art.
The film reminds the audience that in ancient times, women were worshipped as cultural muses. Ironically, in mothern times most people can’t even name a handful of female artists.
Following the screening Rebecca Raubacher, Anita Peghini-Raber and Kim Klabe will discuss their experiences juggling motherhood and a career as an artist.
Kim Klabe – She is a Rehoboth Beach “oil painter who focuses on familiar, local sights, quaint cottages, again farmhouses and beach homes that capture the essence of Sussex Couty in days gone by”.
Anita Peghini-Raber – She has made Rehoboth her home. Naturalistic Expressionism is her medium.
Rebecca Raubacher is the co-owner of the Rebecca Gallery in downtown Dover, Delaware. She works from her own sketches, never from photographs. More info? Then, visit www.raubachergallery.com.
