6 Governor’s Letter
November 5, 2014
Dear Film Enthusiasts,
Welcome to the 2014 Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival! Delaware’s oldest and largest film festival is celebrating its 17th anniversary this year. I would like to congratulate the Rehoboth Beach Film Society on this accomplishment, and I am proud that the Department of State, Delaware Division of the Arts is once again supporting this exceptional mid-Atlantic film event.
This festival has become a grand celebration of film culture in Rehoboth with impressive ticket sales of over 19,000 in 2013. The great combination of American and International documentaries, full length and short films joined with educational seminars, opportunities to converse with celebrities, and family friendly entertainment is what makes this event so special.
Once again this year, a particularly worthy student film director will be the recipient of the Morris and Roslyn Fierberg Student Film Award, which will be announced along with the audience favorite winning films. Additionally, this year’s Country Spotlight will feature Mexico in order to facilitate learning about the Mexican film industry, as well as, the culture and traditions of its people. An outstanding sidebar is the Regional Showcase which features emerging filmmakers from Delaware and surrounding states.
Whether you are a Delaware native or a visitor with us, I know you will be entertained and enriched by this outstanding cultural event!
Sincerely,
Jack A. Markell Governor

This event, which will continue for the 2014-15 season, was well received and brought in audiences as high as 300 people. 9 Welcome Letter from Sue and Joe and Sue from Letter Welcome As Sue Sees It
Always moving forward…. is what can be said about the Rehoboth Beach Film Society. As a developing organization, the Board and staff are continually looking ahead, working to expand programming to reach more audiences, improve operations to increase efficiency, and bring the best independent films to local communities throughout the year.
Those efforts reap benefits. The Film Society has been recognized by the Standards for Excellence® Institute as having met all the requirements for the Standards for Excellence® Tier One: Essentials-Adherence to Basic Legal, Regulatory, and Governance Practices. This means the Film Society is committed to upholding basic principles and practices of strong nonprofit management and governance. This effort was led by Governance Chair Julie Davis and John Sue Early Metz, assisted by President Darrel Grinstead, and included full participation of the Board of Executive Director Directors. This group work resulted in the Film Society being the first arts organization in the Rehoboth Beach Film Society State of Delaware and the first non-profit in Sussex County to achieve this recognition. The Film Society’s application for Tiers 2 and 3 is currently being reviewed.
Recognizing the challenges of the future, the organization participated in the development of a three-year Strategic Plan guided by a professional consultant and financially supported by the Delaware Division of the Arts. At the time of the printing of this program, the plan was in the final stages of preparation.
Growth and change present challenges. Understandably this year’s change of producing the Festival at two locations is an adjustment for all. The Film Society greatly appreciates the support and commitment of its members, sponsors, and volunteers to continue the trend of making the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival one of the best cultural events in Sussex County and the mid-Atlantic region.
Please remember the Film Society hosts screenings of wonderful independent films throughout the year at various venues (see back cover). Visit www.rehobothfilm.com for information about locations, dates, and film descriptions.
Thank you for moving forward with us. Sue Early, Executive Director, Rehoboth Beach Film Society
As Joe Sees It
The Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival strives to provide a blend of the best of American independent and international films. While staying true to providing the audience with the best in international films, this year the quality of the American independent films is phenomenal. A-list actors and directors, probable Oscar® candidates and many dark horse contenders compose this year’s programming. If the world famous Sundance Film Festival is the gold standard for film, we have struck it rich as we will be screening over a dozen films from that Festival. Some of the highlights include Little Accidents, Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter, Listen Up Philip, Land Ho! and 52 Tuesdays. All of this year’s films offer a unique perspective on independent film.
As usual the seminars and Country Spotlight: Mexico provides insight into the film world beyond Joe Bilancio the films themselves. Festival favorite and long-time supporter Andrew Fierberg returns to the Festival Program Director Festival with his directorial debut El Cielo des Azul. In addition, we will get to know him better Rehoboth Beach through Sunday morning’s A Conversation With Andrew Fierberg. Fenwick Island’s Matthew Independent Film Festival Van Dyke is the subject of the film Point and Shoot dealing with his time “finding himself” and then finding himself in the rebel army in Libya fighting for freedom. Learn about the Mexican film industry with two distinguished experts in the field. Do you know what a Film Commission is and what they do to support Independent Film? No? Well find out by attending the seminar discussing Film Commissions.
I normally end this preview with the same advice on taking a chance, going outside your comfort zone and see some films that might challenge you or take you to a place you may not want to go. Spend time at the seminars, engage in the Q&A sessions and let yourself be transported through all the experiences. Well I guess I did end the preview as I always do, but it is a fitting end!

About the Cover
The theme for the seventeenth anniversary of the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival was inspired by Claudia Ratner’s mixed digital media submission titled “Towering Infilmo”.
About the Cover An iconic and beloved part of the coastal Delaware landscape, the towers provide a unique and beautifully serene backdrop for beachgoers. As a local, Claudia grew up swimming and surfing at Herring Point and Gordon’s Pond with the towers looming overhead.
Originally built as look-out towers during World War II, Claudia saw the towers’ artistic Claudia Ratner characteristics and used her original photograph as a starting point for her mixed digital media artwork.
Claudia Ratner graduated from Cape Henlopen High School in June of this year. As well as studying piano, Claudia’s extracurricular activities included 3 varsity sports, National Honor Society and Leo’s Club. Her resume is very impressive for a recent high school graduate with a variety of awards, recognitions, philanthropic experience, and employment history. Claudia is currently in her freshman year at the University of South Carolina majoring in Visual Communications. For many years Claudia attended the Film Festival, but this year college studies will be a priority! Perhaps she can see some of the films next summer from the Film Society’s Film Library.
Thank you Claudia for bringing a well-known historical landmark to life for this year’s Festival.

During the course of his career, the Maryland Film Office has assisted over 150 films or television series in Maryland including:House of Cards, VEEP, and The Wire. He is on the advisory board of the Maryland Film Festival, Annapolis Film Festival and the Maryland chapter of Women in Film and Video. He was a member of the jury of the Kratkofil International Film Festival in Bosnia in 2007.

Ten days after graduating from Penn State in 2001 with a BA in Media Studies she began interning at the Greater Philadelphia Film Office and never looked back. Her evolution at the “Film Office” was a natural one by blending film and her beloved City that she loves to market to incoming productions.

Tequila Tasting Sat (Nov 8), 7:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Some say to taste tequila is to taste a bit of Mexico. Tequila is deeply rooted in Mexico’s history and culture. Made from the blue agave plant tequila dates back to the ancient Aztecs and Spanish Conquistadors. Current production is strictly regulated by Mexican law. There are basically three types of tequila: Tequila Blanco, Tequila Reposado, and Tequila Añejo. Outlet Liquors will present samples from various distilleries to show similar characteristics and unique differences. Taste and discover that not all tequila is created equal!
