To honor the late Jonathan Demme, the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque will screen his 1984 film Stop Making Sense. Demme, who lensed classic movies such as Melvin and Howard, The Silence of the Lambs and Rachel Getting Married, captures the unique energy of Talking Heads, who were performing at their peak at the time of his documentary.
