The Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque’s state-of-the-art Peter B. Lewis Theater is still closed. But the presenter of out-of-mainstream films has been looking at creative ways to keep bringing films to its audience.
In addition to a full program of streaming films, which you can access at their set, it’s partnering with other area theaters to present movies live. Recently, it hosted an evening of horror films at the Aut-O-Rama Drive-In. Now it’s hooked up with the Cedar-Lee Theatre in Cleveland Heights for some special screenings.
On Sunday November 11, it will be screening a movie that had been on its April schedule: a new restoration of Elem Klimov’s 1985 Soviet film, Come and See. The lengthy (142 minutes) World War II drama depicts how the war — and the slaughter by Nazis in his Belarusian village — cause a teenage boy to join the Belarusian resistance and follows a series of brutal, hellish events he encounters.
The film will be shown on the big screen in Theatre 1, with socially distanced seating and a limited capacity of 100 people. Masks are required except when eating or drinking. Tickets are $11; Cinematheque members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8.
