Anita Peghini-Raber, Artist, Sponsor of Alamar at Film Festival, Exhibitor, Preshy’s Restaurant, Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival, Delaware Beaches
It is the night before the begining of a frenzy of movie enthusiasts descend on our beaches. On Wednesday, November 10th until Sunday, November 14th the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival will be taking place.
This year, it will be the 13th year in which American and Independent films, including shorts, documentaries and features will be here in Rehoboth Beach.
All films will be presented at the Movies at Midway. For all information pertaining to the festival please visit www.rehobothfilm.com.
Already there are so many sell-outs, but even though a film might be listed as sold-out, there are many tickets that come back to the Box Office throughout the Festival so visit the Box Office in the Big Tent to check screening status.
It has been suggested that Sunday afternoon is a wonderful time to purchase tickets as many movie marathoners end early and return tickets.
The Big Tent was getting ready this afternoon. It is located behind the theater and it is where you will go to check the status of screenings, eat, buy posters, t-shirts, etc. etc.
I have to tell you about Anita Peghini-Raber. She is an artist and has been active in the local art scene for many years.
She sent me an e-mail yesterday and told me that she hoped to see me at the festival and that she was a sponsor of one of the films: Alamar.
Alamar – “Filmmaker Pedro Gonzalez- Rubio treats the eyes and soul to a breathtaking vision of life at tropical waters’ edge through the bonding of a father and his young son.
Jorge grew up in Mexico and has been separated from his wife Roberta for several years. She longs to return to her roots in Rome and is taking their 5 year old son with her. Intent upon imparting his Mayan heritage to his son, Jorge is given several weeks to take Natan to the Chinchorro reef on the Mexican coast.
At first, the boy finds this new way of life uncomfortable, getting seasick on the boat and working constantly, but his father eventually eases him into the rhythms of a fisherman’s life.
As day to day existence carries on, the relationship between man and nature is subtly revealed and the boy learns to live in harmony with the natural world.
While Alamar is a fictional narrative, the film effectively blurs documentary and fiction as the main actors play themselves and the director delicately captures the serenity of life at a realistic pace. Natan’s emotional journey leaves him and the audience with an experience that will remain long after the film comes to a close.”
Alamar is the recipient of many awards and Pedro Gonzalez Rubio is making his filmmaker’s debut.
The movie is going to be shown on:
Friday, 11/12 at 12:40 p.m.
Saturday, 11/13 at 9:40 p.m. sponsored by Anita Peghini-Raber
Sunday, 11/14 at 3:00 p.m.
The movie is in Spanish and Italian with English subtitles and you may visit www.filmovement.com for more information.
Anita has been inspired by the story and it reflects in her new creations; images of ocean scenes and parents with their children.
She tries to create a mood with her paintings and mostly loves to capture her subjects deep in thought.
Anita is exhibiting during the festival at Preshy’s Restaurant. Preshy’s is right there at the Midway Shopping Center on Rt. 1 where the Movies at Midway is located. Perfect place to catch lunch or dinner and then head to your films.
Preshy’s location is 14 Midway Shopping Center. Tel. 302-645-8300.
I went to check out Preshy’s today. Looks are deceiving, you know that. The restaurant was nice inside. Just in case you were wondering. I knew what you were thinking.
I wanted to take some pictures of Anita’s paintings. I will have to tell you that I have not eaten there but the people there were having a great meal.
The special today was a lamb shank and the aroma was so good. Preshy’s specializes in Northern Italian cuisine. Italian is spoken in the restaurant.
Some of the pastas were, Rigatoni Calabrose, Penne Ortolano, Penne Firenze, Penne Arrabiata among others.
Dinner entrees are served with soup or salad and some of them were: Salmon Livornaise, Gamberi Toscani, Chicken Scarpariello, Chicken Francese, Veal Piccata, Marsala or Parmigiana, Salmon Fantasia and other specials.
For dessert they had Tiramisu, Profiterols, Tartufo and others.
Anita’s paintings are exhibited throughout the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant, Roberto, was gracious enough to let me take the pictures.
