Animation Show of Shows
The 22 nd annual Animation Show of Shows has showcased dozens of short films over the years which garnered Academy Award nominations - and 11 Oscar winners. This year’s edition includes nine recent works from around the world as well as a new restoration of Frédéric Back’s Oscar-winning “The Man Who Planted Trees” from 1987. It’s Friday and Saturday night, Nov. 11 and 12, at the Cleveland Cinematheque.
Cleveland Pizza Week
Noble Roman’s, Marshall’s and De Trattoria are a few of the long-gone pizza places of my youth. They might still be around today if Cleveland Pizza Week had existed back then. Through this weekend, pizza lovers can order $8 pies from participating shops – and you can track your taste buds’ journey in the Pizza Week app. It’s Chicago deep dish-sized fun at a Jeno’s Pizza Roll price.
Cello Songs Project
Singer-songwriter Jonatha Brooke has been called "one of the most gifted and unique artists of the decade" by Billboard magazine. Thursday, Nov. 10, at 8 p.m., she brings her Cello Songs Project trio to Oberlin College's Finney Chapel. One of her partners in the ensemble is 1991 Oberlin grad Rebecca Arons. It's the culmination of a week of workshops on cross-genre collaborations with Conservatory students.
