Rehoboth Film Festival to Have a New Venue

The Rehoboth Film festival could eventually have a new permanent home after the Midway along

Delaware Route 1 decided it could no longer host the event.

The Film Society plans on opening the Cinema Art House at Dartmouth Plaza in Lewes in mid-January.

The Wilmington News Journal reports that a $500-thousand theater will offer features ranging from digital projection and multi-purpose screening to tiered seating.

Sue Early, the festival’s executive director, told the paper that there will be mini-festivals and themed programs.

She said that will start in March with a Jewish film festival.

This year’s film festival runs from Saturday through November 15th.

There are three venues: Cape Henlopen High School, MCC Rehoboth and the Baycenter in Dewey Beach.
