Rehoboth Beach Film Society's Around the World series presents "The Day I Saw Your Heart"

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society, Lewes Public Library and Movies at Midway present “The Day I Saw Your Heart” as May’s film for the Around the World series of critically acclaimed, international independent films. The award-winning drama will screen on Wednesday, May 1 at 7:00 pm in the upstairs screening room at Movies at Midway. Admission to this film series is free and open to the public. In this light-hearted comedy about the trials and tribulations of family life, Mélanie Laurent (Inglorious Bastards, La Rafle) stars as Justine, a twenty-something commitment-phobe who works at an x-ray lab by day and creative artist by night. After dumping yet another boyfriend, she moves in with her sister Dom, who is trying to adopt. The sisters are united against their apparently selfish, cynical and heartless father Éli. Fate then takes an interesting twist when the girls’ 60-year old father announces that his third wife is expecting a baby! Ironically, his daughter yearns for a child but has to adopt, whilst Éli seems less than thrilled to be a father once again. At the same time, in trying to get closer to his daughter, Éli succeeds in befriending Justine’s exes without her knowing. He almost ruins everything when Justine falls in love with Sami, who might be “the one." A hilarious and moving comedy, starring great actresses together with the brilliant Michel Blanc as Eli. “The Day I Saw Your Heart” screened at the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival in November of 2012. [Dir. Jennifer Devoldère, 2011, France, 35mm, 98 mins. In French with English subtitles.] 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 Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival (November 6-10, 2013). The Rehoboth Beach Film Society is funded, in part, by a grant from the Delaware Division of the Arts, a state agency dedicated to nurturing and supporting the arts in Delaware, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts.

Clear Space Theatre Company presents Dolly Parton's 9 to 5: The Musical

May 3 - May 19, 2013. May 3-4 - 7PM; May 5 - 3PM; May 9 - 11AM; May 10-11 - 7PM; May 12 - 3PM; May 17-18 - 7PM; May 19 - 3PM. The hit 1980 film gets the musical treatment by one of its Grammy Award-winning original stars in this show with big heart and even bigger show-stopping songs! Jaded matriarch Violet, buxom backwoods secretary Doralee, and mistreated newcomer Judy are all under the employ of the overbearing womanizer Franklin Hart, Jr. These three unlikely cohorts team up and hatch a plan to get even with their egotistical, tyrannical boss. All of the madcap hilarity of the movie is intact, intertwined with Dolly Parton’s score that is part Broadway and part pop, a little bit country, and all toe-tapping fun!

Rehoboth Beach Film Society's Read A Movie presents "The Day The Earth Stood Still"

The Rehoboth Beach Film Society and the Rehoboth Beach Public Library invite film and literary enthusiasts to a special screening of the 1951 film “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” on Wednesday, May 8 beginning at 4:00 pm, upstairs at the Rehoboth Beach Public Library. The screening is part of the monthly “Read a Movie” club, in which members are invited to read a short story in advance of the screening, and then gather to watch the film version and engage in lively discussion about how the film compares to its original inspiration. All of Washington, D.C., is thrown into a panic when an extraterrestrial spacecraft lands near the White House. Out steps Klaatu (Michael Rennie), a handsome and soft-spoken interplanetary traveler, whose "bodyguard" is Gort (Lock Martin), a huge robot who spews forth laser-like death rays when danger threatens. After being wounded by an overzealous soldier, Klaatu announces that he has come in peace and he has a message of the gravest importance for all humankind, which he will deliver only when all the leaders of all nations will agree to meet with him. World politics being what they are in 1951, Klaatu's demands are turned down and he is ordered to remain in the hospital while his wounds are treated. However, Klaatu escapes, taking refuge in a boarding house, where he assumes the alias Mr. Carpenter, and the name he finds on the cleaner’s tag on the suit he borrowed. There the benign alien gains the confidence of a lovely widow (Patricia Neal) and her son, (Billy Gray). Enjoy the drama as Klaatu endeavors to make the world “stand still” so he can deliver the urgent and momentous message to world leaders.“The Day the Earth Stood Still” was directed by Robert Wise, who edited “Citizen Kane” and directed such major 1960s musicals as “West Side Story” and “The Sound of Music”. The screenplay written by Edmund North was based on the story “Farewell to the Master” by Harry Bates. Michael Booth, of the “Denver Post”, says “The Day the Earth Stood Still” may at first look like goofy, outdated science fiction, but its timeless warnings about violence, nuclear confrontation and the difficulties of policing the planet have made it an enduring cultural classic.” [1951, USA, Runtime: 92 min, Rated: G]The popular “Read a Movie” club meets on the second Wednesday of each month (September – May). Members receive an email link to the short story in advance, and copies of the story are also available at the front desk of the Rehoboth Beach Public Library. After the film is screened, members share thoughts about how well—or not so well—the story was expanded to the big screen. Membership in “Read a Movie” is free. To sign up, and receive the stories in advance, email Sue Early, Executive Director of the Rehoboth Beach Film Society at sue@rehobothfilm.com or call the Rehoboth Beach Public Library at (302) 227-8044.
