The Cleveland International Film Festival returns to Playhouse Square in full force this Wednesday, March 22, running until April 1.  After a fully streamed event in 2020 and 2021, and the festival's first in-person return last year, 2023 is poised to have the largest CIFF attendance in the past three years. Opening night kicks off with the Reading Rainbow documentary Butterfly in the Sky, with other notable films including the centerpiece screening of Being Mary Tyler Moore and inclusive features like 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture or In Search of Bengali Harlem, from the DReam Maker and Groundbreaker award programs respectively.
