There’s an event for everyone this weekend with a three-day flea, a film fest for kids, a high-tech dance recital and an intergalactic beer.

Kids Film It Festival
America’s next great director just might be discovered at this unique film festival. Now in its second year, the Kids Film It Festival was founded by 12-year-old filmmaker Ryan Levine and showcases movies made by kids from age 8 to 18. Films are submitted in three categories — animation, music and film. Judged by Hollywood executives Todd Lieberman, Marc Buckland and Ivan Shwarz, the festival will award winners in each category and age group. This year, the festival has partnered with the Michael J. Fox Foundation to benefit Parkinson’s disease research. A DeLorean will even be on display in the Rock Hall’s plaza to honor the Back to the Future star. $20, Nov. 10, 7-11 p.m., 1100 Rock and Roll Blvd., Cleveland, kidsfilmitfestival.com
Vistas
Case Western Reserve University’s Department of Dance bends reality in its latest performance. In its first concert of the 2017-2018 season, Vistas will feature five different numbers, including Imagined Odyssey, choreographed by Gary Galbraith. A collaboration between the dance department and the Interactive Commons at CWRU, Imagined Odyssey will utilize the HoloLens, which are augmented reality glasses developed by Microsoft. These glasses to bring the stage to life by projecting holograms that will interact with the dancers. The performance will be one of the largest groups of people to ever simultaneously use the HoloLens, the department says.
