Cleveland International Film Festival announces their slate of films

CIFF45 Streams kicks off its 14-day online run on April 7th.

CLEVELAND — The 45th Cleveland International Film Festival has announced their Opening Night and Closing Night films for this year.

On Wednesday, April 7th at 7:00 p.m., the festival opens with Together Together.  The film stars Ed Helms as a successful app developer in his forties who is looking to start a family. Tickets are $25 per person and the evening includes a post-film Q&A.

For the first time ever, the Festival has added a Centerpiece Screening.  On Tuesday, April 13th at 9:00 p.m., they will stream Summertime. This "is a love song to the West Coast that blends poetry and hip-hop with themes of home and belonging. Taking place over one summer day in bustling Los Angeles, the film showcases 25 young local poets, using their impassioned slam pieces like a musical does songs. The film is produced by Kimberly Stuckwisch, Jeffrey Soros, Alisa Tager, Simon Horsman, Carlos López Estrada, and Diane Luby Lane."

Tickets for Summertime are $10 per person.
