Cleveland International Film Festival expands for 35th fest
Ah, the Cleveland International Film Festival. My spring awakening. Even mild agoraphobia can’t stop me from pushing through the crowds in Cleveland’s Tower City Center for Cleveland’s annual film event.
Last year 70,000 people saw films at my hometown film festival. None of those attendees had to travel around Cleveland looking for participating theaters, though. Cleveland’s festival takes place in one location, Tower City Cinemas, something I don’t think any other film festival of its size can claim. (And for anyone who’s not used to early spring in Northern Ohio, waiting in line inside is an even bigger benefit.)
This year, I expect to run into even more Clevelanders hungry for great film because the CIFF announced that its taking over all 11 theaters at the Tower City Cinemas for the 35th Cleveland International Film Festival, March 24-April 3.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer:
That means, for the first time, the CIFF will take over the entire multiplex for its 10-day run… The festival has grown from three or four screens to seven or eight as it has enjoyed a big jump in attendance this decade. But it has never inhabited all of Tower City.
