CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Institute of Art’s Cinematheque -- beginning Jan. 1 -- will be screening a powerful and apt modern adaptation of Sophocles’ “Antigone.”
The tragedy is set in Montreal, where an Algerian refugee family’s 17-year-old daughter fights against law and authority. Sophie Deraspe’s film was the winner of five 2020 Canadian Screen Awards, including Best Motion Picture and Best Actress.
Also on Jan. 1, Cleveland Cinemas (Cedar Lee, the Capitol and Chagrin Cinemas) is screening “Stand!,” which is directed by Robert Adetuyi.
