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. Last weekend, 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 a couple of special screenings on Sunday October 11 and Sunday November 1.
October 11 will see the Cleveland theatrical premiere of the new film by Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda, called The Truth. It’s his first movie shot outside Japan and his first not filmed in Japanese: it’s in French. Catherine Deneuve, Juliette Binoche and Ethan Hawke are featured in this movie in this about a French movie star (Deneuve), who has just published her self-inflating memoir when her daughter (Binoche) and son-in-law (Hawke) arrive from New York to discover that she has whitewashed her rendition of her life.
On November 11, the Cinematheque will be screening a movie that had been on their April schedule: a new restoration of Elem Klimov’s 1985 Soviet film, Come and See. The lengthy (142 minutes) World War II drama, which depicts how the war — and the slaughter by Nazis in his Belarusian village — cause a teenage boy to join the Belarusian resistance and encounter a series of brutal, hellish events.
Both films 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.
