Four films centered around central Africa, more first-run films making their Cleveland premieres, two talented filmmakers and an actor discussing their work, plus the return engagement of a popular winter film constitute the Cleveland Museum of Art’s (CMA) April Film Series.

The film series Central African Art and Power on Screen complements CMA’s spring exhibition, Art and Power in the Central African Savanna. On view from March 1 until May 31, the exhibition looks at the political and religious power of over 60 figures from the Chokwe, Luluwa, Songye and Luba tribes. The four films complimenting this exhibition include Pièces d’identité (Pieces of Identity), Kirikou and the Sorceress, On the Rumba River, and Lumumba.

Friday Night First-Run Films continues with the Cleveland premieres for five new movies, including Munyurangabo, Mabou Mines DollHouse, On the Rumba River, Fados, and The Black Balloon. Viewers at Munyurangabo and Mabou Mines DollHouse get a special treat, as filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung of Munyurangabo will appear in person at both of his film’s viewings, while filmmaker Lee Breuer and lead actor Maude Mitchell will answer questions at the end of Mabou Mines Dollhouse.

And back by popular demand is one of winter’s most popular films, the football documentary Harvard Beats Yale 29-29.

All films will be shown in the CMA Morley Lecture Hall on the museum’s lower level located at 11150 East Boulevard in University Circle. Admission prices to museum films are: general public $8, CMA members $6, seniors 65 and over $5, students $4, or one Panorama voucher, unless  otherwise noted. Panorama Film Series vouchers (in books of 10) cost $55 for the general public, $45 for CMA members. Tickets are available through the Online Box Office at www.clevelandart.org <http://www.clevelandart.org/> , in person or over the phone at 1-888-CMA-0033. Parking is available in the CMA parking garage.
