Fests and events, 3/28. Elsewhere edition.

"In the wake of SXSW, the spring regional festival season begins," writes Michael Lerman at indieWIRE. "First stop: Cleveland, OH. Despite the bleak weather and peculiar image that one is in a multiplex in a mall sandwiched between two five star hotels, the Cleveland International Film Festival draws large local crowds to a comprehensive survey of some of the best that the last year in world premiere festivals has had to offer."

Chris Tilly in London: "Rock 'n' Roll Cinema takes place at 93 Feet East this Sunday, and having attended the last event, I urge all the TOMB readers out there to head down as it's the best Sunday afternoon's entertainment I've had in ages."

Maxim Jakubowski visits The Air Is on Fire (through May 27 in Paris): "[T]he paintings are not the only element to provide insight into [David] Lynch's mental landscape: the whole exhibition is bathed in ominous music, actually composed by Lynch but reminiscent of his film soundtracks by Angelo Badalamenti."
