The Rehoboth Beach Film Society’s Monthly Screening series will feature all five of the Oscar® nominated Live-Action Shorts on Thursday, Feb 23, at 7:00 pm at DiFebo’s in Bear Trap Dunes, and on Friday, Feb 24, at 7:00 pm in the upstairs screening room at the Movies at Midway.
Screening short films in the short month of February seems fitting. The audience will delight in seeing drama, comedy, and science fiction in the best short films from five countries. The nominees for the 2011 Oscar® for Best Short Film (Live Action) are: The comedic drama “Pentecost” focuses on a young Irish boy faced with a difficult choice between his duties at Church, and his love of football [2011, Ireland, Runtime: 11min, Not rated]; A German couple adopts an Indian orphan in Calcutta, only to have him disappear, in the family drama “Raju” [2011, Germany & India, Runtime: 24 min, Not rated, in German with English subtitles]; In the drama “The Shore”, two boyhood friends reunite in Northern Ireland after 25 years [2011, Northern Ireland, Runtime: 29min, Not rated]; The science fiction comedy “Time Freak” features a neurotic inventor who hopes to correct his past mistakes by creating a time machine [2011, USA, Runtime: 10 min, Not rated]; and with only six days left to live, 70-year-old Oskar wants to put things right with his brother in the comedic drama “Tuba Atlantic”. [2010, Norway, Runtime: 25 min, Not rated, in Norwegian with English subtitles]
Following the screening, local film critic Rob Rector will lead the audience in a discussion about what makes each film eligible for consideration. Audiences at both screenings will be given the opportunity to vote for the favorite of these nominees, and the Film Society will report the results in the next weekly email. Test your skills at picking a winner!
Monthly screenings are $4 for Rehoboth Beach Film Society members (current membership card must be presented), and $6 for future members. Doors open at 6:30 pm for each event. Attendees of the Ocean View screening at DiFebo’s get 10% off their meal on the evening of the screening, and are permitted to carry beverages into the screening room. DiFebo’s begins serving dinner at 4:30 pm, reservations and early arrivals for dinner are encouraged.

Rehoboth Beach Film Society and Milton Historical Society co-present Delmarva Roots, a three-part film series featuring films about Delmarva’s rich history. The next film event of the 2012 series takes place on Friday, Feb 17, at 7:00 pm, with a screening of “Crash: A Tale of Two Species”, at the Milton Fire Hall.
This documentary illustrates the story of nature’s amazing ability to create fragile connections among the most unexpected creatures, and how easily humans destroy these connections. It may surprise many Delmarva residents that the iconic horseshoe crab, celebrated in a festival in Milton each year, is a part of just such a fragile connection. For many decades, humans harvested the horseshoe crab for fishing bait, leading to a significant decline in the population by the 1990’s. Unfortunately, eggs produced by the crabs are the primary food source for a small shorebird called the red knot, thus endangering the numbers of that species. If what impacts one species affects another, the loss of red knots will certainly affect yet another species. Can the residents of Delmarva learn to minimize the negative impact humans have on local horseshoe crabs---and hopefully repair our fragile ecosystem? [2008, USA, Runtime: 60 min, Not rated]
After the screening, Dr. Douglas Miller, Professor of Oceanography and Dr. Patrick Gaffney, Professor of Marine Biosciences from the University of Delaware College of Marine and Earth Studies, will lead a discussion about challenges to the local horseshoe crab population. Admission for this event is $5 for adults and $3 for children under twelve. It is recommended that tickets be purchased in advance either online at www.rehobothfilm.com, or by calling the Rehoboth Beach Film Society at 302.645.9095, ext. 1.

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society is pleased to present a screening of “Money Matters” as a part of the On Screen/In Person tour. The screening will take place at 2:00 pm, on Fri, Feb 10, at the Theater in the Education and Humanities Building, at Delaware State University in Dover, Delaware.
“Money Matters” director Ryan Richmond will be present to introduce his film. A graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, Ryan Richmond began his film career as a cinematographer, during which he shot more than 60 films and music videos. Emerging filmmakers can take this opportunity to meet Ryan and discuss the challenges and triumphs he experienced in making his directorial debut.
This coming-of-age drama follows a 14-year-old biracial girl, Monique (aka “Money”) Matters, as she navigates the inner city. Her relationship with her sickly, single mother, Pamela, is strained, because her mother wrestles with her personal demons by thrusting religion onto Money as a way to repent for her own mistakes. Education provides no escape for Money—every day she commutes by three different buses to a Catholic school far from her dilapidated neighborhood, to another world where she feels just as uncomfortable. When she befriends a neighborhood girl who seems to understand her, their friendship develops in ways that push boundaries. Just as Money begins to discover herself, her mother’s quickly deteriorating health reveals her positive HIV status, forcing her mother to reveal details about her disturbing past. As these details emerge, which includ the identity of Money’s father, Money must somehow reconcile the relationships and circumstances surrounding her very existence. [2011, USA, Runtime: 89 min, Not rated]
Following the screening, director Ryan Richmond will participate in a discussion led by Delaware State University students.

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society and CAMP Rehoboth co-present “Beginners” and “Wish Me Away” as part of the Another Take film series on February 18 and 19. Both screenings will be held in the upstairs screening room at Movies at Midway.
Another Take, a gay and lesbian film series, begins on Saturday, February 18, at 2:00 pm with a screening of “Beginners”. This comedic drama is an “exuberant, infectious testament to the power of letting go and diving in,” according to “Washington Post’s” Ann Hornady. “Beginners” imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver (Ewan McGregor), when he meets and falls in love with the irreverent and unpredictable Anna. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his recently deceased father, Hal (Golden Globe winner Christopher Plummer). Following the death of his wife of 45 years, Hal came out of the closet at age 75 to experience a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life, which included a younger boyfriend, Andy. Hal lived his final months with a funny and moving honesty, and formed a strong bond with his son. Inspired by these memories, Oliver, previously unable to make romantic commitments, endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him. [2010, USA, Runtime: 95 min, Rated R]
“Wish Me Away”, Audience Award winner for Best Documentary during the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival, will screen on Sunday, February 19, at 2:00 pm. The film tells the story of Chely Wright’s calculated preparations in 2010 to release an album and a book (Like Me) that made country music history—she became the first country music star to reveal her homosexuality. Using interviews with her family, key players in Nashville, her management team, and her very intimate, private video diaries, the film traces her life of growing up in a homophobic community and culture, to her successful career that further paralyzed her fear of coming out. The film chronicles every step Chely takes as she prepares to enter the national media limelight with her announcement, the aftermath in her hometown of Nashville, and the response within the larger LGBT community. Wish Me Away reveals both the devastation of her own internalized homophobia and the transformational power of living an authentic life. [2011, USA, Runtime: 120 min, Not rated]
Tickets are $7.00 and can be purchased online at www.rehobothfilm.com, by calling 302-645-9095, ext 1, or visiting the RBFS office, Mon – Fri, 9:00 am – 4:30 pm. Please note that tickets are non-refundable.
