LOOK CLOSER: Find Yourself at the 47th Cleveland International Film Festival
has just been announced as this year’s Festival theme.
Designed by the Emmy award-winning team at Type Twenty-Seven, the theme invites audiences to seek out connections to diverse cultures and perspectives, while delving into CIFF47 films playing across screens at the iconic Playhouse Square.
Brittyn DeWerth, Creative Director and Owner of Type Twenty-Seven, stated: “As we brainstormed the concept for CIFF47, our goal was to showcase the overall atmosphere of the Festival experience. But how do we reflect this when no two visits are the same? The community, the multifaceted offerings, the cinematic experiences—and even those around us—make each interaction different. One visual that continually evolves — a Kaleidoscope. Dating back to 1817, the word ‘kaleidoscope’ literally means ‘observer of beautiful forms.’ Like an image in a Kaleidoscope, the Festival experience is unique to each of us.”
The Festival is thrilled to once again partner with the Emmy award-winning, Cleveland-based video production company Fusion Filmworks to produce the highly anticipated CIFF trailer. Sponsored by Jinny and John Johnson, the trailer will be released on Opening Night of CIFF47 on Wednesday, March 22, 2023.
