The mission of the Rehoboth Beach Film Society is to promote the art of film and, through outreach initiatives, to entertain, educate, and enrich the cultural life of local and extended communities. As such, the Film Society screens films that cover a broad scope of issues and subjects. The Film Society does not assume a political, religious, or philosophical position on any film. The Board and staff recognize that not everyone will agree with all film choices but will appreciate the opportunity to view films not typically available in non-metropolitan areas.

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society screens films of artistic merit from around the world. Many of these have not been rated by the Motion Picture Association of America and may contain material not suitable for minors. To provide as much information as possible for viewers, the RBFS has created a guidance system that can be used as part of the selection process. click here
