CWRU Film Society

That's the Case Western Reserve University Film Society. Like they have at lots of colleges: films on Friday and Saturday nights for a few dollars. Sometimes very recent; sometimes classics.

We've seen a bunch of movies there, but we also went to a local filmmakers' night at the end of January with lots of shorts and lots of the people involved in making them. A glimpse into the "local film scene."

That's another cool thing about Cleveland. Like Austin, it's big enough to have a "scene" (music, film, dance, etc.), but small enough to have a "local scene." The San Francisco Bay area is so much on the national map that the scene there, at least the scene I saw, didn't feel very local.
