Again in 2024, the Cleveland Hiking Club is partnering with the Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF).
This is the 11th year that CHC has been participating.
CIFF48 will take place April 3 – 13, 2024, at Playhouse Square, followed by CIFF48 Streams, April 14 – 21, 2024 online. The in-person Festival will showcase 137 feature films and 225 short films representing 60 countries during the 11-day run. CIFF48 Streams will present more than half of its in-person feature films, along with nearly its full lineup of in-person short films.
Our film this year is “The Walk”. The only Playhouse Square showing is Saturday, April 6, 2024 at 2:40pm. The film will be available on CIFF Streams.
Asil is a young Syrian refugee awaiting documents in Turkey while processing the trauma of losing her home and family. her story gives voice to a charming gigantic puppet named Amal, who represents millions of migrant and displaced children in a walk from the Syrian border in Turkey all the way across Europe. escorted and animated by a group of puppeteers who are themselves refugees, Amal’s epic journey is one of compassion and discovery.
Ticket prices at Playhouse Square are $18. Ticket prices for Streams are $14. Use discount code “HIKE” to receive a $1 discount.
