The Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival celebrated its 26th anniversary by expanding the number of movies offered and by using the recently opened Cambria Hotel Rehoboth Beach as the event’s entertainment hub.

For the past couple of years, the festival featured roughly two dozen movies. This year’s festival, which ran Nov. 4-10, showcased more than 70 films from 12 countries. Genres included documentary, LBGTQ+, Black voices, drama, comedy, film shorts, international and Blue Hen, which represents films from Delmarva or eastern Pennsylvania.

The Cambria Hotel Rehoboth Beach hosted a VIP cocktail party on Wednesday and an awards brunch on Sunday. Movies were shown at the Cinema Art Theater and the Unitarian Universalists of Southern Delaware.
