Cleveland, Ohio- Hailed by some viewers as "life-
transformational," the feature documentary film FLIGHT FROM
DEATH: THE QUEST FOR IMMORTALITY makes its Ohio premiere at 8p, 
Monday, November 3 at the 10 Year Anniversary OIFF at Cleveland 
Public Theatre, 6415 Detroit Road. Narrated by internationally known 
actor Gabriel Byrne, this award-winning film (Audience Award for Best 
Documentary-2003 Beverly Hills Film Festival) uncovers fear of death 
as a possible root cause of much of our everyday behaviors. Through 
stunning visuals and insightful interviews, FLIGHT FROM DEATH 
explores human beings' innate and subconscious fear of death and 
portrays the impacts of that fear on our behavior, specifically in 
regard to violence. 

Woody Allen once said, "I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to 
be there when it happens." This probing film explores the myriad ways 
human beings have devised to do just that. A culmination of many 
years of research and shooting in locations such as Egypt, Israel, 
Guyana, Mexico, Greece, and China, FLIGHT FROM DEATH provides a 
definitive study of the ultimate question that each one of us must 
face. The film poses the big questions to an all-star cast of 
scholars, authors, philosophers, and researchers. In the end, this 
film provides the most comprehensive and mind-blowing investigation 
of humankind's relationship with death ever captured on video.
