Films Announced for
THE 2024 REGIONAL FILM SHOWCASE
Held at the Cinema Art Theater in Lewes
Support the Local Filmmakers of Mid-Atlantic Region
 
The Rehoboth Beach Film Society (RBFS) is proud to present the 2024 Regional Film Showcase (May 3 – 5) at the Society’s Cinema Art Theater (CAT) in Lewes. This year’s selection will feature seven films from three states, an assortment that demonstrates the diversity and vibrancy of the independent film community in the Mid-Atlantic region. One filmmaker will win the Fierberg Film Prize, to support their on-going film projects and continue to develop their craft.  A Jury Prize will also be awarded to one winner. We hope that you will take the opportunity to attend the Regional Film Showcase to support the works of emerging filmmakers and engage with them through post-discussions. . Visit rehobothfilm.com to view film finalists and purchase tickets ($5.00)!
The Film Society received over 30 film submissions and selected 12 for review by the Showcase judges. The final seven films make-up the Showcase screenings over the three day program. The slate of films are primarily shorts with one full-length feature, “Friends & Neighbors” that screens as a standalone on Saturday, May 4 at 4:00 pm.
“Independent filmmakers are constantly looking for funding to produce a film project. With the advent of technology and specifically smart phones, it’s certainly less cost prohibitive. Dollors secured help with marketing, hiring actors and other hardware devices required in post-production. For those reasons we remain invested in our cinema artists.” said Executive Director, Helen M. Chamberlin.
