24 2013 COMPETITIONS The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival GREG GUND MEMORIAL STANDING UP FILM COMPETITION With generous support from: Honor Flight Our Standing Up Film Competition is a tribute to Greg Gund. Greg’s friends and family described him as “intensely creative and talented, and wholly without pretension.” For five years Greg lived in Playa Negro near Tamarindo, Costa Rica where he immersed himself by becoming part of the local community. As much as he deeply loved his home there, Greg was also an extensive world traveler with an adventurous spirit and an insatiable curiosity about different cultures and people. He lived by this Mahatma Gandhi quote inscribed in his passport: “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Greg died at the age of 32 in a small plane crash off the Pacific Coast on July 16, 2005. Our Standing Up program includes “films with a conscience.” Standing Up started as a sidebar to focus on films with the mission to change the world and grew into a celebration of activism, the fight for social justice, and the battle to heal the earth. Many of these films highlight personal stories featuring individuals who set out to teach lessons on how to live a better life. One of the aspects all these films share is the impact they make on viewers long after the credits roll. Through these films, Standing Up honors Greg Gund— as well as others with a different view of the world—and the continual fight to make it better. In 2005, the George Gund Foundation granted the CIFF with an endowment to create the Greg Gund Memorial Standing Up Competition. Since its inception, it has grown into our largest and most popular competition. Last year 33 films were screened in competition, including five of our top ten audience-rated films. This year the Greg Gund Memorial Standing Up Competition is being split into two categories: films Standing Up To something and films Standing Up For something. Make sure you Stand Up with your vote, as this competition now has two awards of $5,000 each, based on audience balloting. Winners will be announced at the Closing Night Reception. Past winners of the competition are: 2012 I A PLACE AT THE TABLE (AKA “FINDING NORTH”) Lori Silverbush & Kristi Jacobson; USA 2011 I DYING TO DO LETTERMAN Biagio Messina & Joke Fincioen; USA 2010 I LOUDER THAN A BOMB Jon Siskel & Greg Jacobs; USA 2009 I THE WAY WE GET BY Aron Gaudet; USA 2008 I IRON LADIES OF LIBERIA Daniel Junge & Siatta Scott Johnson; USA, Liberia 2007 I DARIUS GOES WEST: THE ROLE OF HIS LIFE Logan Smalley; USA 2006 I AMERICAN BLACKOUT Ian Inaba; USA In Memory of Greg Gund May 26, 1973 - July 16, 2005 Standing Up Films are presented with the generous support of CHAR and CHUCK FOWLER Included in this year’s Standing Up Film Competition are: Standing Up For FILM TITLE PAGE ANITA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 APPASSIONATA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 51 CANNED DREAMS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58 THE CRASH REEL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 63 DIGITAL DHARMA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 67 DOWNEAST . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70 ELEMENTAL. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 71 FALLEN CITY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 FATHER’S BIRTH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 73 GIRL RISING . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 80 HARVEST OF EMPIRE. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 85 HONOR FLIGHT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 88 I AM BREATHING . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 101 LITTLE WORLD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 109 LORD MONTAGU . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 110 LOST TOWN . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 110 MORE THAN HONEY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 113 THE PUNK SYNDROME . . . . . . . . . . . . 123 RAFEA: SOLAR MAMA . . . . . . . . . . . . . 124 REBELS WITH A CAUSE . . . . . . . . . . . . 125 VERA 68 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 139 WE CAME HOME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 140 WE WENT TO WAR . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 140
