Newark Film Festival is happening now through the 15th, with several films repeating in Wilmington from the 15th-18th

Here's the thing: there are a lot of good movies in this line-up, but the majority are films that played recently at Theatre N.  It would have been nice to have the option of more movies that I haven't had local access to in the past couple of months.  In one case, the same movie is showing at the festival that is showing at Theatre N this very weekend. 

The same goes for the films that will be shown at the Wilmington Film Festival next week (really just a smaller selection of the same films), to be held at the Delaware Art Museum.  Most of those movies played a few blocks away a very short time ago, so there's not a lot that's new for the die-hard indie film audience in the area.  No, it's not the worst thing in the world to see a good movie twice or have a chance to see it if you missed it the first time.  But I know there are a lot of indie movies out there that never made it to Delaware, and it would be nice if the organizers strived to book more films that haven't just been shown here.
