SitemapThe Cleveland International Film Festival is known to show a wide variety of feature and short films.
However, in recent years a special part of the festival has been its Local Heroes Competition, which festival Associate Director Patrick Shepherd described as being an annual celebration of films made about Ohio, in Ohio, or by Ohioans.
While COVID-19 is still keeping audiences out of theaters, this year’s CIFF45 Streams — taking place April 7 through 20 — is offering audiences the ability to stream its Local Heroes Competition films from the safety of their own homes.
Based on audience vote, the winner of this competition — who will receive a $5,000 cash prize — will be announced at the CIFF Closing Awards Ceremony.
