60 FILMS A – Z [C] The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival CINEMA EN ESPAÑOL CINEMA EN ESPAÑOL WOMEN OF THE WORLD Childish Games (Dictado) Directed by Antonio Chavarrías SPAIN 2012 95 minutes Thursday, April 11 Saturday, April 13 11:40 AM I Code CHIL11 11:20 PM I Code CHIL13 Sunday, April 14 11:20 AM I Code CHIL14 As the saying goes, the past will come back to haunt you. This couldn’t be truer for Daniel and Mario, two men living with guilt over an incident that happened when they were kids. Daniel’s father was set to marry Mario’s mother, who had a daughter named Clara. One day the boys, who were often unkind to the little girl, bullied her into doing something that caused her death. Years later, Mario commits suicide, convinced his own daughter is the reincarnation of his sister. Daniel’s wife, who’s been wanting to adopt a child, decides they should take the girl, Julia, to live with them. Soon Daniel begins to think Mario was right. His wife finds that Julia’s grandmother has also gone mad, treating the little girl as if she were her dead daughter. Are their conclusions just manifestations of their unresolved feelings? Or is the impossible really true: is Julia really Clara, here for revenge? CHILDISH GAMES is a nail-biting thriller that will have you guessing until the very end. (In Spanish with subtitles) —E.F.

But Choco and her family live in poverty and this basic wish seems nearly impossible to fulfill. A bigger obstacle is Choco’s husband. He is a drunkard and a gambler, stealing what little money she earns (by panning gold from mercury-laden mines) and abusing her sexually when inebriated. Nevertheless, she is determined to give her daughter this simple gift, regardless of what it takes. To provide her children with any chance in life, Choco will use every ounce of courage she has and face any danger in her path. With stunning cinematography, this film evokes both the beauty and the hardships of Choco’s village. CHOCO investigates how poverty and the struggle to survive permit the cycles of abuse and female subjugation to continue. But those chains of oppression can be broken, and one night Choco is pushed to her limits and driven to a single, bloody act of liberation. (In Spanish with subtitles) —C.R.

Many believe the template for that something is the effort to purchase the democratic process that began with Americans for Prosperity and the controversial Citizens United decision of the Supreme Court. This clear and remarkably assembled documentary takes the circus-like whirlwind of events and characters and puts it into a comprehensive and lucid timeframe. Using recent events in Wisconsin as its primary focus, CITIZEN KOCH truly “follows the money.” We begin to see how the fragments and noise coalesce around a handful of very rich, very powerful individuals who have a specific vision of our country and are willing to pay any price to see it made real. Conservative, Liberal, or just plain Sick Of It All, this film will open the eyes and raise the blood pressure of every citizen concerned about how muted their voices may become. —C.R. Producers~Tia Lessin, Carl Deal, Gillian Caldwell Screenwriting~Carl Deal, Tia Lessin Cinematography~Joan Churchill, Nadia Hallgren, Bill Turnley Editing~Lisa Palattella Print Source~Bayside Productions / tia@elsewherefilms.org / www.citizenkoch.com About the Directors~Carl Deal is a technician, producer, writer, and director.

Collaborative Filmography~“Trouble The Water” (2008), CITIZEN KOCH (2013) Clandestine Childhood (Infancia Clandestina) Directed by Benjamin Ávila ARGENTINA, SPAIN, BRAZIL 2012 110 minutes Wednesday, April 10 Thursday, April 11 11:40 AM I Code CLAN10 8:50 PM I Code CLAN11 Juan just wants to be himself. But his parents are Argentine guerillas, so it’s not that easy. Loosely inspired by events in director Benjamin Ávila’s life, CLANDESTINE CHILDHOOD follows Juan’s family as they return to Argentina after years of exile. Constantly under the threat of being found, they assume fake identities. As “Ernesto,” Juan begins to make friends and eventually falls in love with Maria. After his uncle Beto kills himself during a standoff with police, the family’s safety becomes even more compromised. His parents decide it’s best to move, leaving Juan heartbroken. He won’t see Maria anymore and she’ll never understand why. The secret life he’s forced to live becomes more difficult as Juan matures. He loves his parents dearly and, as much as a child can, he understands their cause. But is it all worth it? What will happen to Juan and his baby sister if his parents are killed? CLANDESTINE CHILDHOOD examines what it’s like to grow up in a state of secrecy and constant fear. (In Spanish with subtitles) —E.F.
