Fodor's Expert Review Cleveland International Film Festival

Cleveland's celluloid appeal is apparent in big Hollywood films, such as the 2003 release American Splendor and the 1978 classic Deerhunter, and its film appreciation is equally robust, as 50,000 film-festival attendees prove every year. Tower City Cinemas serves as the festival's headquarters. Feature films, as well as short programs that showcase local and international directors, play throughout the two-week event.
