“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
Just around the corner is the Independent Rehoboth Beach Film Festival. The dates are November 9th until the 13th. For more info. please visit http://www.rehobothfilm.com.

While the local adults try to avoid both the armed military and the guerilla rebels fighting each other in the area, Manuel and his friend, Julian are obsessed with playing soccer any chance they get….” Disaster strikes when Julian’s soccer ball, given to him for his birthday gets kicked off to a minefield….How far will they go to recover their prized posession.

Rebecca – Artists who happen to be mothers are the focus of this Cinema & Art.

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.
Have a great day!! Talk to you later….

I have already written several times about The Milton Theatre. I am going to be writting about it again because I totally fell in love with it when I first laid eyes on it.
The old Milton Theatre is an art deco movie house and back in the 1930’s it showcased the “silent” movies and the “talkies”.
It was rescued from ruin in 2000. It is open and it is gorgeous. The Milton Theatre is showcasing this year’s most popular movies along with other events in the area.
As a rental facility, is an ideal venue for business meetings, conferences, class reunions, graduation parties, bridal showers, weddings and any other intimate, private gathering.
The Milton Theatre is located in the heart of Milton, on 110 Union St. Telephone: 302-684-3400. Website is www.miltontheatre.org. The town of Milton is just north of Lewes, Delaware and very easy to get to.
This is what you will find this week at The Milton Theatre:
Wednesday, May 5th at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 9th at 2:00 p.m. – The movie Julie & Julia. Julia Child and Julie Powell, both of whom wrote memoirs, find their lives intertwined. Though separated by time and space, both are at loose ends…..
Saturday, May, 8th there will be the special screening of The Art of the Steal at 7:30 p.m. Admission will be $7.00. You may call 302-645-9095 for tickets. This screening is sponsored by the Rehoboth Beach Film Society and Gallery 50 in Rehoboth Beach.
The documentary chronicles the long and dramatic struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation, the world’s largest private collection of post-Impressionist art valued at more than $25 billion.
The guest speaker will be Danielle Rice, Ph.d., who will conduct a question and answer session after the screening. She is the Executive Director of the Delaware Museum of Art.
As the season gets ready to receive everyone with open arms, please check all the events that our beaches have to offer. There is a lot going on.
Talk to you later…You know I will…
