Film Fest Launches

An annual event that gets bigger and better each year, the Cleveland International Film Festival kicks off tonight with its usual opening night screening and party. Not Another Happy Ending, a British film from director John McKay, centers on a novelist who achievers overnight success when her book becomes a best seller. The film screens at 7 p.m. at Tower City Cinemas and tickets are $12 for CIFF members, $14 for non-members. The festival then officially commences tomorrow with a full day of screenings and panels. It runs through March 30, and most of the screenings will take place at Tower City Cinemas. (Niesel)
