The Cleveland Cinematheque wouldn't be what it is today, if not for John Ewing.

🎬 The founder and director has led the organization through numerous changes, watching a key part of local cinema bud and blossom over the decades. In 1991, the theater added stereo cinema. In 2015, it changed its venue, from the now-demolished Aitken Auditorium on East Boulevard to its state-of-the-art Peter B. Lewis Theater at 11610 Euclid Ave. In 2021, it moved into new territory, streaming and premiering online during the pandemic.

Through it all, there were the movies — the premieres, the classics, the experimental, the artsy, the oddball — and about 10,000 of them, Ewing thinks, since he started.

“I think that’s a very reasonable estimate,” he says, taking a moment to think the number over. “And that’s not short films. Those are feature-length films.”
