Film Critics wanted!

This is the opportunity for would-be film critics to be a part of the film selection process for the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival (Eleventh Anniversary). Beginning June 23, the Film Society will host summer film reviews every Monday and Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. thru August 19, in the upstairs screening room at the Movies at Midway.

Each session will include the screening of a short and a documentary or a feature, time permitting. Reviewers are asked to complete a rating form and may also join in the post film discussions. Festival Program Director Joe Bilancio will facilitate the reviews so you are sure to enjoy stimulating discussions about what factors determine a film’s suitability for a Festival.

Please understand that film titles and descriptions will not be provided in advance as we want everyone to arrive with an open mind for a new experience. Most submitted films have not received a MPAA rating, and film review screenings are recommended for mature audiences only. Note: Once the viewer leaves the screening room, please do not publicize any information about the films in any format (website, newsletter, etc.).

The screenings are open to the public and admission is a suggested $1.00 donation which helps with print traffic management expenses. Thank you in advance for your participation and know that your input is valued.

The mission of the Rehoboth Beach Film Society is to create understanding of and appreciation for film as an art form. The Film Society sponsors the Art House Theater, monthly screenings, community outreach initiatives, special events, and the annual Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival (November 5-9, 2008). The Rehoboth Beach Film Society is supported, in part, by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency committed to promoting and supporting the arts in Delaware.
