As Governor, I am pleased to welcome you to the 9th Annual Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival. Through the dedication of the organizers and the enthusiasm of film lovers everywhere, this event has become a popular fall event in the Mid-Atlantic region.

The festival presents a broad selection of the best American and foreign independent films, including shorts, documentaries and features. It also features films for children and students to attract the interest of the next generation of film buffs.

The Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival is a wonderful event for Sussex County communities and Delaware to enjoy. I applaud the work of this organization for bringing this unique event of cultural importance to the area.

I wish you all the best for an enjoyable and memorable festival.

Sincerely,

Ruth Ann Minner Governor

Independent films that is. If the Rehoboth Beach Film Society brings independent films year-round to the Art House Theater, film enthusiasts will fill theater seats. Right? We are counting on you, the independent film enthusiast, to be a part of the audience and to help spread the word. The Art House Theater is for YOU!

Since January, 2006 the Film Society has been bringing quality independent films to theater #14 in the Movies at Midway complex. Award winning films such as The Squid and the Whale, Capote, An Inconvenient Truth, and Wordplay are just some of the many titles that have been featured on the Art House Theater marquis. Great films will continue to appear.

How do you learn what is currently showing on the Art House Theater screen?

• Check the Movies at Midway marquis with the RBFS logo • Visit the RBFS website www.rehobothfilm.com • Call the Film Society 302.645.9095, x1 • Read the movie schedule in the local Coast Press and Cape Gazette papers

Thank you for supporting this community outreach initiative. We look forward to seeing you at the theater!
