The Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) announced its program lineup for the 46th annual event, set to take place at the end of March. While the festival announced its film lineup, it also announced a decision to remove two Russian films from the program.
From March 30 through April 9, the CIFF will be held at Playhouse Square. The in-person film festival will showcase 146 feature films and 182 short films representing 73 countries over the 11 days of showings. Following the in-person festival, CIFF Streams will take place on its streaming platform from April 10-17, featuring around two-thirds of the in-person lineup.
The Ukrainian Film Academy and European Film Academy, along with numerous Ukrainian artists, filmmakers, and others, have called on institutions worldwide to cancel cultural partnerships with the Russian Federation. The unlawful and brutal actions of the Russian government are being challenged across the globe.
"Just like that- every “innocent “ Russian suffers as well, bc of the monster they have for a president," one woman wrote on the Facebook post of another film festival announcing a similar decision.
