REHOBOTH BEACH FILM SOCIETY AND CAMP REHOBOTH PRESENT ANTOHER TAKE, A THREE-DAY FILM SERIES.
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society and CAMP Rehoboth are co-presenting Another Take, a gay and lesbian themed film series from February 11 through February 13.
The event kicks off at the CAMP Community Room on Thursday, February 11, at 7:00 PM with “Night Fliers”. When 12-year-old Jesse Hawthorne’s father moves the family to a rural town, Jesse is almost immediately bullied by girls in her school. These mini-mean girls seem to find Jesse's tomboy nature both repellent and yet somehow attractive. Her only ally is her neighbor, Jacob, but he has problems of his own including an aggressive, paint-huffing brother. Together, Jesse and Jacob bond with the local super-nerds, forming a circle of friends. With the onset of puberty, the members of Jesse’s outsider gang develop crushes on each other, regardless of gender. Through the power of true friendships, they embrace who they are and rise above the closed minds of their community. [2009, Runtime: 78 min., Not rated]
The film series continues on Friday, February 12, at 7:00 PM with “Pop Star On Ice”, an unprecedented behind-the-scenes portrait of current Olympian contender and three-time U.S. Figure Skating National Champion Johnny Weir. Johnny’s struggle to reach the top of the sport takes the audience from small town Delaware – his training home – to competitions, shopping sprees, fashion shows and personal appearances around the world. The inspiration for Jon Heder’s character in the box office smash “Blades of Glory”, Johnny seeks to balance his larger-than-life persona with the constraints of his sport. “Pop Star On Ice” uncovers the graceful, athletic, cut-throat and melodramatic sport of figure skating through the prism of its most controversial athlete as he tries to fulfill his potential on the world stage. [2009, Runtime: 85 min., Not rated]
Another Take finishes on Saturday, February 13, at 7:00 PM with a screening of “Hollywood, je T’aime”. Biting Hollywood satire meets a melancholy search for love and acceptance in this sweet and surprising fish-out-of-water film. The story begins in wintry Paris, where Jerome is down in the dumps because his ex-boyfriend has moved on with a new hunk. Seeking an escape from reality, he heads to the City of Angels. As Jerome strives to forget his love back home, he searches for new experiences and connections on the strange, colorful streets of Los Angeles. Naturally, the temptation to find fame and fortune becomes irresistible, and Jerome enlists the help of a West Hollywood stoner (Chad Allen) to obtain auditions for music videos and commercials. Full of humor and appreciation for showbiz absurdity, this entertaining film is enough to charm anyone out of the winter blues, whether in Paris or Rehoboth! [2009, Runtime: 95 min., Not rated]
All Another Take screenings will be held in the CAMP Community Room, 37 Baltimore Ave., Rehoboth Beach. Tickets are $7.00 and can be purchased by calling RBFS at 302-645-9095. SEATING IS LIMITED AND ADVANCED TICKET PURCHASES ARE ENCOURAGED.
The mission of the RBFS is to promote the art of film and, through outreach initiatives, to entertain, educate, and enrich the cultural life of local and extended communities. The Film Society sponsors monthly screenings, special events, and the annual Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival (November 10-14, 2010). 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.
