In
an age where media has become more digital than tangible, more solitary
than social, art house theaters remain physical spaces where film
lovers can congregate and connect with each other around intrepid,
creative filmmaking. Art houses nurture an ecosystem of adventurous
audiences and independent productions, and function as economic drivers
in their communities.
In
addition to their regularly scheduled films, the Cedar Lee Theatre and
Capitol Theatre will feature the following special programs, promotions,
Q&A’s and collectible merchandise as part of Art House Theater Day.
A TOWN CALLED PANIC: THE CHRISTMAS LOG & RETURN TO SCHOOL

Come
visit A TOWN CALLED PANIC, with two award-winning new specials from the

class assignment yields a special prize,
but only Pig knows the answer.

AUTHOR: THE JT LEROY STORY
In person Q&A with director Jeff Feuerzeig
Saturday, September 24th at 7:00 PM*
Capitol Theatre
On
January 9, 2006 The New York Times sent shockwaves through the literary
world when it unmasked "it boy" wunderkind JT LeRoy, whose tough
prose about a sordid childhood had captivated icons and luminaries
internationally. It turned out LeRoy didn't actually exist. He was the
creative expression of 40-year-old San Francisco former phone-sex
operator turned housewife, Laura Albert.
Author: The JT LeRoy Story takes us down the infinitely
fascinating rabbit hole of how Laura Albert - like a Cyrano de Bergerac
on steroids - breathed not only words, but life, into her avatar for a
decade. Albert's epic and entertaining account plunges
us into a glittery world of rock shows, fashion events, and the Cannes
red carpet where LeRoy becomes a mysterious sensation.
*Note that
Author: The JT LeRoy Story will be playing for additional shows as a regular engagement starting on September 23rd. Only the 7:00 show on September 24th will feature the director Q&A.

Saturday, September 24th at 8:00 PM

weapons with him.

“Art
House Theater Day is a chance to show film-lovers that their local
theaters are part of a larger cultural movement. These cinemas are not
passive, insular venues––they are passion-driven institutions that
collaborate with distributors, filmmakers, and each other to deepen film
appreciation and to increase the diversity and artistic integrity of
what you see on the big screen,” said Art House
Theater Day cofounder Gabriel Chicoine.
“We
are excited to participate in the first annual Art House Theater Day,”
says Jonathan Forman, President of Cleveland Cinemas. “Both the Cedar
Lee Theatre and Capitol Theatre are critical assets to Clevelanders who
are passionate about cinema. We hope that patrons come out to show
their support for these and other independent films playing on Art House
Theater Day.”
