Wear Black, Please

Thanks to the folks at the Cleveland International Film Festival for their hospitality on March 26, when I introduced a screening of a Chinese film entitlted "Piano in a Factory."

The plot revolves around an estranged couple. The young daughter says she'll live with whoever provides her with a piano. The father and his co-workers make a piano out of discarded parts from closed factory that's soon to be demolished. It's a buddy picture. The relationships among the man and his work colleagues account for a number of digressions, but the movie always returns to the piano and the daughter.

This is my 4th CIFF, always held at Tower City Cinemas in downtown Cleveland. It's always mobbed with film fans. You'll find more people wearing black per capita at CIFF than anywhere else in Cleveland.
