I saw two films this year and had a great time! I saw Code Black with a free ticket and Ride with Larry. Plenty to see and well done. This year, it was at Tower City Cinema and parking (as long as you park in the garage parking under Tower City) is validated, which eases up $$ on the wallet.
Plenty of options to choose from and a chance to meet with producers/directors, etc. Lots of Q&A sessions and the CIFF takes some of the films outside of Cleveland for everyone to see. Take advantage!
