Oh boy! The snow has begun! Come warm up with us here in Tower City Center, because we've got the perfect antidote for nasty weather.

We're kicking off the 2:00 round at 1:45 with showings of Oscar nominees past and present, the thought-provoking Polish film Katyn and John Sayles' brilliant 1992 film, Passion Fish. Mr. Sayles has not yet touched down in Cleveland, so he won't be in attendance for a Q&A after Passion Fish concludes, but the film is a must-see anyway and a great beginning to our Director's Spotlight series.

Then, at 2:00, Knowledge is the Beginning and Sam Phillips: The Man Who Invented Rock'n'Roll will start. There will be a Filmmaker Q&A at the conclusion of Sam Phillips, too. If you're a music buff, these are your films!

We’ll finish out the round with the 2:15 start of Edda Award-winning Parents, a brilliant film from Iceland. Its companion film, Children, is also being shown at the Festival this year and had its first showing in the noon round, so this is a great chance to see both of them.

Need a little early break from work? Join us for a movie, and if anybody asks where you were, you can tell them that you got caught in the snow. ;-)
