Cleveland International Film Festival starts tomorrow #CIFF #HappyinCLE
RSSS

Sure SXSW may be going on in Austin right now, but in my backyard, it’s Cleveland International Film Festival time. The 34th Cleveland International Film Festival, March 18-28, 2010,  kicks of tomorrow night with a screening of the film TiMER, director Jac Schaeffer’s first feature.

I won’t be at the opening, but I  don’t think I won’t be living at Tower City Cinemas in downtown Cleveland every other day of the festival. Last year, I saw my No. 1 movie of 2009, Ramin Bahrani’s Goodbye Solo, early on at CIFF. That’s reason enough for me to head back again. And like last year, I sat down and dug through the more than 300 feature and short film selections and pulled out a few dozen nuggets that cannot be missed.

Here’s a quick and dirty list for right now:
The Ape
All of Us
The Graduate
No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson
Toe to Toe
Women Without Men
The Joneses
I Am Love
The Taqwacores
A Town Called Panic

I’ll post trailers and reviews of these movies and more over the next week, just to keep you up-to-date on the goings at the CIFF. I may not be in Austin, but with the CIFF going on, I sure am #HappyinCLE.
