This program was a rebroadcast of the March 6, 2008 episode of Applause.

Join us as we screen some of the films at this year's Cleveland International Film Festival with our international man of movies, Artistic Director Bill Guentzler.

Jason Fisher began his career in film making at age 14 as he followed his dad, Lee Fisher, around with a hand-held video camera during his run for Governor in 1998 and Lieutenant Governor in 2006. These and other behind the scene moments with some of the biggest names in politics is now part of the movie Swing State that looks at the importance of Ohio gubernatorial elections and their affect on Presidential politics. Joining us is the director of Swing State, Jason Fisher.

Plus, we’ll stop by the Canton Museum of Art where they encourage visitors to take a tour of some spaces that are usually off-limits at other museums.
