The Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) had its opening yesterday evening.  They started off the festival with the charming romantic comedy Not Another Happy Ending.  This film stars the lovely Karen Gillan from BBC’s Doctor Who, and the equally handsome Stanley Weber from Louis XV, le soleil noir.  This movie about a young writer working through writer’s block is relatable and fun.  If you get a chance to see it, do so.  Check out the trailer for this film below.

"Not another happy ending" - Official trailer from Stanley WEBER on Vimeo.

This particular film festival has chosen to focus on films that are not only artistically significant but culturally significant as well.  They really have a focus on educating and enriching community life through the exhibition of film.  CIFF wants their audience to walk away having learned something more about the cultures they observe in their films.

To assure that they accomplish the mission they have chosen to undertake, CIFF has set forth a set of Guiding Principles which I am including below for those who do not have time to explore the website itself.

“Set high standards for quality film education and exhibition, placing artistic and cultural merit above commercial appeal;”

“Foster understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures and values;”

“Work collaboratively to broaden access to quality film arts;”

“Cultivate an innovative and forward-thinking organization;”

“Ensure the organization's financial stability and increase its financial self-sufficiency;”

“Promote among board, staff, and volunteers a work environment based on integrity, professionalism, teamwork, trust, and respect.”

If you live in the Cleveland area or have time to suddenly take a week off and drive a great distance, I encourage you to attend this festival.  Tickets are only $14 per film.  And for Monday March 24th every film will be completely free courtesy of The Cleveland Foundation.  Check out this LINK, RIGHT HERE!
