35th Cleveland International Film Festival

I just wanted to make sure that you all know that the film gods have seen fit to grant Northeast Ohio another plentiful year of film-harvest. And they're granting you a chance to win tickets to the film harvest!

The Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) is kicking off in about three weeks and we've got a discount code for you, akronlife devotees. When you go to the festival's website, www.clevelandfilm.org, to peruse the films and purchase your tickets, enter the code AKRLFE and save yourself $2 on your ticket. (You can also check the film list and times with the CIFF app.)

Here's just a taste of my "Films to See" list for this 35th Cleveland International Film Festival. I'll be posting more and giving you some bigger bites, but first I need you to do something for me...

***I'll be giving out FREE PAIRS OF TICKET VOUCHERS to the festival (two per winner) and  Free Film Festival Posters over the next week and a half. All you need to do is send me one of your favorite movie quotes! Winners will be drawn from a pool of the first 50 respondents, So HURRY! Email your favorite quote and any responses to: contest@bakermediagroup.com. OR just let me know on facebook.

Follow us on Twitter @akronlifemag and on Facebook: Akron Life & Leisure Magazine for film updates reviews and for other contests.
