Cleveland Jewish FilmFest

Now in its 12th year, the Cleveland Jewish FilmFest aims to bring the best of international Jewish cinema to Cleveland. It features a mix of documentaries, features, comedies and shorts, and films will screen at five local theaters and venues. The fest kicks off tonight with a screening of The Last Suit at 7 at Shaker Square Cinemas. The drama tells the story of an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor who travels across Europe to Poland as part of a promise to a friend who helped him escape. A dessert reception takes place in the lobby after the screening. Tickets are $20. The festival runs through Oct. 14. In all, it'll show 26 films from five countries.
