Another Take Film Series, presented by Rehoboth Beach Film Society and
CAMP Rehoboth
Discover a new take for the New Year with new films, as Rehoboth Beach
Film Society and CAMP Rehoboth present Another Take! The Another Take film
series brings a special selection of GLBT films to our community. Take
advantage of the long holiday weekend to see a few films that won’t be
coming to a theater near us.
Three films will be shown Friday, February 16 through Sunday, February
18. All screenings will be held in the Upstairs Screening Room at the
Movies at Midway.
Kick off the weekend fun on Friday, February 16 at 7:00 p.m. with What’s
Up, Scarlet? Scarlet Zabrinski, a successful, hard edged L.A. matchmaker
lives in the shadow of her overbearing mother, Ruth, who relentlessly
tries to find the perfect man for her daughter. Scarlet has to put up with
her brother Ben, a pot-smoking, unemployed lawyer. Ben becomes furious
when Scarlet unknowingly sets him up with a porno star. When Sabrina
Fisser, a homeless foreign actress rear-ends her on a calm, sunny
afternoon, Scarlet offers this seemingly helpless vagabond a place to stay
for one night. One night becomes an eternity as the free spirited Sabrina
overstays her welcome. When vengeful Ben tries to seduce Sabrina, Scarlet
finds herself protective of her new friend. A mutual attraction develops
and the two unlikely characters explore the uncharted territory of
unexpected love. 2005, runtime: 84 minutes, not rated
Another Take continues Saturday, February 17, at 2:00 p.m. with Camp
Out, a feature documentary film that follows ten Midwestern teenagers as
they attend the first overnight Bible Camp for gay Christian youths. For
these six boys and four girls, it’s just as hard to come out as
Christian as it is to come out as gay. They’re caught in the battle
between religion, politics and sexuality that’s raging in the United
States today. These kids are outsiders—their straight classmates
ostracize them and their churches reject them. But like all teens, they
yearn to feel at home, somewhere. Struggling to find a way to be true to
both their spirituality and their sexual identity, these teens come to
camp hoping to finally find a place of acceptance. 2006, runtime: 78
minute, not rated
End the weekend with a Coffee Date, at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, February
18. Straight guy Todd goes on a blind date with a gay man, Kelly (Wilson
Cruz from Noah’s Arc and My So-Called Life), the result of a practical
joke played by his brother, Barry. To Todd’s surprise, he and Kelly
strike up a friendship. They decide to take revenge on Barry by reversing
the joke. After their date, the pair saunters past Barry holding hands.
The joke works too well. Freaking out and convinced that Todd is gay,
Barry calls their mother (Sally Kirkland) to break the news. Concerned,
she arrives on the next plane. Despite his vehement denials, Mom now sees
Todd’s love of movies and theater, as well as his lack of interest in
sports, as clear signs she’s previously missed. She is determined to
prove to her son that she loves him no matter what. Nothing Todd says or
does can convince her that he’s actually straight! Soon, everyone in his
life believes he is gay. His frantic attempts to prove his heterosexuality
with a sexy younger woman end in disaster. He starts to wonder, could his
feelings for Kelly be more than he’d ever suspected? 2006, runtime: 94
minutes, not rated
