Whatever Floats Your Boat


The Cleveland Institute of Art, which is in the nearby University Circle neighborhood, has a really nice cinema program and they show a lot of indie/artsie films.

I glanced through the upcoming schedule to see what was playing and there's one that, after caredful consideration, I decided not to see.

Zoo.

(from the wiki entry linked above)

Zoo, a film by The Stranger columnist Charles Mudede and director Robinson Devor, and executive producers Garr Godfrey and Ben Exworthy, is a documentary on the life and death of Kenneth Pinyan, a Seattle area man who died unusually through a fatal accident while engaging in sex with a horse. The film's public debut was at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2007, where it was one of 16 winners out of 856 candidates,  and played at numerous regional festivals in the USA thereafter.  Following Sundance, it was also selected as one of the top five American films to be presented at the "prestigious" Directors Fortnight sidebar at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.
