Well, the Cleveland International Film Festival closed on Sunday and I didn’t get to go to as many movies as I wanted, but I did get to spend a couple of days there and it was a blast. From a fascinating documentary, to a program of shorts to a football movie filmed in Canton, the movies were diverse and the crowd and their enthusiasm was cheering.
Three of the films that showed at the festival: Clandestine Childhood, Lucky and La Sirga, are also part of our Indie Int’l Film Festival and will be shown here at the library in May, June and August. Please join us and continue celebrating the spirit of cinema!
