The Cleveland International Film Festival kicks off this week and from the looks of things, this is going to be the best year ever! I am excited to be a part of the festival again. The only problem that I have had so far is trying to find the time to watch so many films that I want to see. As a seasonal employee , I sometimes get to pre screen some of the films, and I have seen a few already. One of my favorites was a documentary called The Last Train Home and follows the lives of a family of migrant workers in China. It spoke to me about how no matter where you are in the world, families are much the same. Over the course of the next couple of weeks expect lots of chatter from me and others in Cleveland about the festival! Here is a starter:

POPCORN FOR LUNCH AT THE 34TH CIFF
The 34th Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) and Downtown Cleveland Alliance invite you to spend your lunch hour at the 34th CIFF! Snack on popcorn and watch any (or all!) of a program of collected short subject films each weekday at noon. Screenings typically last between 90 and 100 minutes, but individual films can have a running time between one and 30 minutes. So you will be able to join us at the beginning, join us in progress, leave early, or leave at the end. Or take a longer lunch break and enjoy the whole program!
Tower City Cinemas will offer a $4.50 small popcorn and small drink special at the concession stand between 11:30AM and 1:00PM each day. For those looking for something more substantial, Jule’s Café is open in the Tower City Cinemas lobby and offers a variety of wraps and baked goods.
Tickets for the 300+ films that will show during the 34th CIFF between March 18 – 28, 2010 are now on sale. Ticket prices for most films are $10 per film for CIFF members and $12 for non-members. Tickets are available online at www.clevelandfilm.org, by telephone (1.877.304.FILM), at the CIFF store in the lobby of Tower City Cinemas, or by mail using the Program Guide order form.
Not a CIFF member? Become one here or by calling 216.623.3456 x10.
Popcorn For Lunch is sponsored by Downtown Cleveland Alliance. |
