You’ll see movies from around the world screening at the Cleveland International Film Festival — plus, a handful that have big connections to the Buckeye state. By Annie Nickoloff
The 49th edition of the Cleveland International Film Festival kicks off on Thursday, and features 300 films over the course of 10 days in Downtown Cleveland’s Playhouse Square.
Within that mix, you’ll find a fair bit of Ohio’s movie-making world on display. A handful of feature-length movies make up the “Local Heroes Competition,” showcasing movies that are, according to the CIFF website, “about Ohio, in Ohio, or by Ohioans.”
