Cleveland, Ohio-ZELIMO, an award-winning festival favorite, will make 
its Ohio premiere at 7p this Monday November 4 at the 2002 Ohio 
Independent Film Festival at  Shaker Square Cinemas, 13116 Shaker 
Boulevard (admission $10) as part of a Premiere Presentation-a 
screening of the feature film ZELIMO and pre-feature short IMPROBABLE 
PAIRS, panel discussion with Dr. Alan S. Rosenbaum (Department of 
Philosophy, Cleveland State University), Dr. Mikhail Lyubansky 
(Department of Psychology, Kenyon College), Dr. Samuel A. Richmond 
(Department of Philosophy, Cleveland State University), and reception.

In the visually beautiful and lyrical feature film, Zelimo is a young 
boy who escapes anti-Semitic Russia only to be baited as a commie spy 
by kids at an orthodox Jewish camp in New York.  Zelimo is befriended 
by Hector, a Cuban Jew and codeine junkie, who exposes the boy to a 
totally different world.  The pre-feature short IMPROBABLE PAIRS is 
about pairs of people who have made peace with each other against 
truly extraordinary odds, notably a Palestinian father and an Israeli 
father who have both lost sons.
