144 FILMS A – Z [W–Y] The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival FOCUS ON FILMMAKERS, SOMEONE TO WATCH GREG GUND MEMORIAL STANDING UP FILM COMPETITION FAMILY FILMS, WOMEN OF THE WORLD FAMILY FILMS Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines Directed by Kristy Guevara-Flanagan USA 2012 62 minutes Thursday, April 4 Saturday, April 6 5:20 PM I Code WOND04 7:30 PM I Code WOND06 Sunday, April 7 (w/FilmForum) 12:10 PM I Code WOND07 Like most of her generation, director Kristy Guevara-Flanagan grew up with Lynda Carter in reruns on the “Wonder Woman” TV show. Her friends were Wonder Woman for Halloween for years, since there were no other girl fantasy heroes. But BAM! POW! Kristy made a movie to help right this grievous wrong. WONDER WOMEN! traces the evolution of superheroines, from their birth in 1940s comic books to their current manifestation in blockbusters. It’s a look at how societal takes on women’s liberation affect the popular representation of powerful females. Actresses Lynda Carter and Lindsay Wagner, comic writers and artists, and real-life strongwomen such as Gloria Steinem and Kathleen Hanna offer an enlightening and entertaining counterpoint to the male-dominated superhero genre. Kristy says, “For some it’s Lara Croft, for others it’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but we all need those iconic heroes that tell us we have the power to slay our dragons and don’t have to wait around to be rescued.” Note: This film contains minimal strong language. —B.B.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Tibet, trapper Van Sneider careens through the snow collecting wild creatures for an evil Zoo Director who likes to stuff them. YOKO, an adorable Yeti child with long eyelashes and an impish grin, accidentally ends up in Van Sneider’s truck heading back to Germany. Yoko escapes the Zoo Director and finds his way to Pia’s tree house, where she catches him dancing to funky grooves on her MP3 player. When he learns the Yeti has slipped his grasp, the enraged Zoo Director sends out bumbling Van Sneider to bring the rare creature back. But Yoko, who’s mischievous as a ten-year-old but tranquil as a monk, needs to get back to the frosty Himalayas. Can Pia elude the clueless grownups and return her new friend to his mountain home? It will take all the kid power she can muster, plus a little bit of magic. (In German with subtitles) —B.B.

Now a dedicated cardiologist, he barricades himself behind his job and empty encounters through the internet. Even his co-workers can’t break down his defenses so his supervisor orders him to take a vacation. On his trip, Yossi gives a ride to four soldiers stranded while on leave. One of them is openly gay and begins trying to lure Yossi out of hiding and back into the dangerous and wonderful world of real emotions and, most frightening of all, love. Yossi, with a soldier’s instinct, knows the art of defense. But young Tom’s beauty, charm, and open love of life may just be a force too powerful to resist. Told in an honest and direct style, YOSSI is the warm and charming story of a man learning to once again open his heart to the possibility of happiness. (In Hebrew with subtitles) —C.R.

At 20 she was terribly awkward and unsure of herself, madly in love with a boy who didn’t quite feel the same, and to top it off, still a virgin. The state of constant confusion her mind and body were experiencing made it hard to comprehend her dad’s unfortunate fate. As her father begins to let go of his life, Justine begins to make sense of her own. As his door begins to close, hers is blown wide open. It’s a silver lining in a very dark and difficult time. Although the story is only semi-autobiographical, there’s enough reality to make you feel the complicated mix of devastation and excitement she was wrestling with. It’s a creative and moving way of giving her father a proper goodbye. YOUTH may be centered around death, but it’s actually more about finding life in the midst of it. (In French with subtitles) —E.F. Producers~Justine Malle, Rémi Pradinas Screenwriting~Justine Malle, Cécile Vargaftig Cinematography~Nicolas Pernot Editing~Olivier Ferrari Principal Cast~ Esther Garrel, Didider Bezace, Emile Bertherat Print Source~Tupelo Films / malle.justine@hotmail.fr About the Director~French director, writer, and producer, Justine Malle was born in 1974 and began her career in film as an actress.
