style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>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 <i><span

style='font-style:italic'>The Village Voice</span></i> and <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>Time Out New York</span></i> in September.<br>
<br>
Almereyda, whom Ewing, the director of the film department, describes as
“one of the most interesting independent filmmakers,” will be in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Cleveland</st1:City></st1:place> 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,” <st1:place w:st="on">Ewing</st1:place>
says. “He’s really a film poet more than anything.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>Directed by Michael Almereyda. The
ordinary becomes extraordinary in this diaristic film that, according to the <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>New York Times,</span></i> "is essentially a
series of home movies, but home movies of a very high order." Shot over a
decade in nine different countries, Michael (<i><span style='font-style:italic'>Hamlet,
Nadja</span></i>) 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 <i><span
style='font-style:italic'>The New World. </span></i>Almereyda will introduce
the film and answer questions after the screening. <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
