The 16MM Man

Massillon-born director Richard Myers started making strangely surreal films in Kent in the early '60s. His movies haven't had any commercial success but they have won awards and his 1970 film Confrontation at Kent State is considered to be a significant historical document. Today at 3 p.m. at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, he'll introduce several of his short films and then stay for a reception so that he can sign copies of his new book, The Films of Richard Myers. Tickets are $9. (Niesel)
