Cleveland International Film Festival: March 22 - April 1
There's a plodding 3 days left between us and the beginning of another year of great cinema blasting through Cleveland. The beginning of the Cleveland International Film Festival NEVER comes soon enough!

I know that I'll be paying close attention to the Central and Eastern European Film Competition and the Pacific Pearls sidebars.

In addition I've got my eye on a few of the Independent Shorts programs; namely: #2, #6 and #7. Though there are definitely individual shorts I want to see that are scattered among the other programs, these feel like they'll be solid all the way through. There's also the Late Night Shorts too, which are always a blast and a great way to round out an already great day of film-watching.
I'll come at you with some more suggestions for the United Airlines World Tour sidebar in short order.
