BEGINNING film still

One of the most astonishing and acclaimed films of 2020 begins with the firebombing of a Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall in a rural village in the republic of Georgia. This act of terrorism prompts the minister's wife to question not only her faith but also her servile position within this patriarchal church. Breathtaking long takes and exquisite silences enhance the movie's soul searching. "Georgia's Oscar submission uses slow-cinema tropes to inspired, devastating ends, marking its first-time writer-director as a major talent...[An] astounding first feature." –Variety. Cleveland theatrical premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 130 min.

Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8. No passes or twofers.

Covid safety protocols. Though Governor DeWine has lifted many Covid restrictions throughout the state, the Cleveland Institute of Art is currently keeping its precautions in place and is assiduously enforcing them. Masks must be worn at all times. Temperatures will be checked upon entering the building. Wristbands will be handed out by security and must be worn while in the building. Social distancing will be maintained in the lobby, restrooms, and theater. In the auditorium, there will be one-way traffic flow and seating will be spaced out, with certain seats and rows blocked off. Sanitation/sterilization stations will dot the premises.

Boxoffice and building. Though we will continue to accept both cash and credit cards at the boxoffice, you will notice other temporary changes to our operation. There will be no access to CIA's upper floors (including vending machines), nor to the ground floor beyond the theater and lobby. Our community candy dish will be put away. The Annex parking lot will be closed, so park for free in Lot 73 (off E. 117th St. south of Euclid) and enter the building through Entrance C (the only entry door that will be open) off Lot 73.
