Countdown to CIFF

The 2007 Cleveland International Film Festival is March 17-25. As sadly in need of a vacation I am, I have decided this is the perfect opportunity. So the little one is probably going to have fun with Grandma while I take Saturday and Sunday to do the film thing in Cleveland for the final weekend of the festival.

My lineup (which may perhaps change because tickets aren't on sale yet, but probably not):

Saturday, March 24

- More than Anything in the World, 9:30 AM

- Deadpan Valentine, 11: 45 AM

- King and the Clown, 2:00 PM

- Boxers, 4:30 PM

- The Hip Hop Project, 7:00 PM

Sunday, March 25

- Relative Obscurity, 9:30 AM

I'm a little disappointed because there are several films I really want to see that aren't offered at the times I'm planning to be there. But, honestly, I love being at film festivals. It's very nice to experience a film in a theater filled with people who also want to experience the film, not just talk or crunch popcorn and wait for something to blow up.

If anyone feels inclined to catch a movie with me, consider yourself invited. All tickets are $10 ($8 for students), and the films are being shown at Tower City Cinema.
