Great Escape: Cleveland International Film Festival

Temperatures are supposed to dip down into the cruel 30s again this weekend after last week's gorgeous, 70-degree Friday. 

Luckily, the 35th annual Cleveland International Film Festival also kicks off Thursday at Tower City Cinemas. With more than 150 features and 130 short subjects to choose from, it's likely you'll find a film that catches your interest.

The festival, which features flicks from about 80 countries, runs from March 24 to April 3. For schedules, synopses and other information, visit the film festival's website. Tickets are $10 for members and $12 for non-members. Buy in bulk and save — purchase six tickets, and each movie pass is $8 (members) and $10 (non-members.)

Tower City Cinemas is located in Tower City Center, 230 West Huron Road, Cleveland.
