Scott will partake in a CIFF Special Presentation: A One-on-One Conversation with A.O. Scott, which will take place at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 8, at the Ritz-Carlton Cleveland.

Scott, who has recently published a book called “Better Living Through Criticism: How to Think About Art, Pleasure, Beauty, and Truth,” will discuss film, art and the importance of film festivals.
