Dear FILM enThuSIaSTS,<br />

Welcome to the 2012 <strong>Rehoboth</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> Independent <strong>Film</strong> Festival! Delaware’s oldest and<br />

largest film festival is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. I congratulate the <strong>Rehoboth</strong><br />

<strong>Beach</strong> <strong>Film</strong> <strong>Society</strong> on this accomplishment, and am proud that the State of Delaware,<br />

Division of the Arts is once again co-sponsor of this premiere Mid-Atlantic film event.<br />

The Festival has become a grand celebration of film culture in <strong>Rehoboth</strong> and the event sold<br />

more than 18,000 tickets in 2011. The great contribution of American and International full<br />

length, documentaries and short films combined with educational seminars, opportunities<br />

to rub shoulders with celebrities and family friendly entertainment is what makes the event<br />

so special.<br />

Once again this year, one particularly deserving student film director will be the recipient<br />

of the Morris and Roslyn Fierberg Student <strong>Film</strong> Award, which will be announced at the<br />

festival along with the audience favorite winning films this year. This year’s art theme<br />

features Laura Ambler’s mixed digital titled “Come to the Fest & Sea the World” is a fitting<br />

expression of how <strong>Rehoboth</strong> and the Festival have become a destination for tourists and<br />

admirers from around the world.<br />

Whether you are a Delaware native or a visitor with us, I know you will be entertained and<br />

enriched by this outstanding cultural event!<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Jack Markell<br />

Governor
