[NEohioPAL] You can't miss! CMA Film premieres the Paradise, plus communication with director Michael Almereyda after screening

[Performing Arts Temp]

The film, a collection of 44 home-movie-like vignettes captured over 10 years during director Michael Almereyda's career, was lauded by film critics at The New York Times, The Village Voice and Time Out New York in September.

Almereyda, whom Ewing, the director of the film department, describes as "one of the most interesting independent filmmakers," will be in Cleveland to introduce his film and stay after for a question-and-answer session. "He's not political where he's got an ax to grind," Ewing says. "He's really a film poet more than anything."

Paradise
Directed by Michael Almereyda. The ordinary becomes extraordinary in this diaristic film that, according to the New York Times, "is essentially a series of home movies, but home movies of a very high order." Shot over a decade in nine different countries, Michael (Hamlet, Nadja) Almereyda's new movie contains 44 distinct scenes captured on digital video-from images of children at play to candid moments at a Sonic Youth concert and on the set of Terrence Malick's The New World. Almereyda will introduce the film and answer questions after the screening. Cleveland premiere.
