Destination? Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival, Delaware, Mid-Atlantic Cultural Event, Films, Features, Documentaries, Shorts, Wednesday, 10/6 – Sunday, 10/10, Southern Delaware, Sussex County
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.
