On this episode of Applause, we preview the 40th Cleveland International Film Festival running from March 30th through April 10th at its homebase, Tower City Cinemas in downtown Cleveland.
In addition, we profile the work of artist Thomas Hart Benton, who took a cinematic approach to his paintings of the mid 20th Century.
And we sit down with a young Cleveland filmmaker taking on a challenging topic, in his debute feature film "Mad."
