78 FILMS A – Z [F–G] The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival NESNADNY + SCHWARTZ DOCUMENTARY FILM COMPETITION FILM IS ART NESNADNY + SCHWARTZ DOCUMENTARY FILM COMPETITION From Nothing, Something Directed by Tim Cawley USA 2012 79 minutes Friday, April 12 Saturday, April 13 5:15 PM I Code FROM12 6:50 PM I Code FROM13 (w/FilmForum) Sunday, April 14 2:45 PM I Code FROM14 People of all professional disciplines encounter no greater threat than that of the proverbial blank page. Whether you’re a fashion designer, architect, choreographer, super-chef, or cartoonist, your success and hard work all began with nothing. In his documentary, FROM NOTHING, SOMETHING, director Tim Cawley sits down with people from many fields of creation and chronicles their processes from idea to finished product. Maria Bamford (comedian), Tom Perrotta (novelist), Moungi Bawendi and David Lee (cancer researchers), Jay Greenberg (composer), and Sara Quin (singer-songwriter of Tegan & Sara) are just some of the many incredibly encouraging professionals who offer up how they went from the fear of staring at a blank page all the way to great accomplishments. Honest and candid, the many subjects of FROM NOTHING, SOMETHING will inspire you with their insights into their methods, neuroses, and worries. —T.W.

Furever Directed by Amy Finkel USA 2013 80 minutes Thursday, April 11 Saturday, April 13 7:20 PM I Code FURE11 3:40 PM I Code FURE13 Sunday, April 14 11:45 AM I Code FURE14 (w/FilmForum) Sixty-two percent of Americans own pets, spending nearly 53 billion dollars on their furry family friends annually. When our pets pass on, it can be a heartbreaking and personal tragedy that can also be tough to share with others. There is now an industry wherein pet owners can have jewelry, urns, and portraits made, not to mention tattoos using the DNA of their pets. You can have your pet “remade” using your pet’s own skin. There is even a way to have a necklace made of your pet’s nose print (which is actually kind of cool). FUREVER is a documentary about the people looking to hang onto the memories of their four-legged loved ones, and the booming trade that is providing services that are an equal amount of creativity, empathy, and opportunity. Some people may think that choosing ways to memorialize dead pets is misplaced grief, yet humans have been mummifying each other since the beginning of time. FUREVER isn’t just about an industry that provides methods of pet preservation; it is also a study of how the relationship between owner and pet has grown throughout the centuries into a full-fledged family unit. Whether you’re a pet parent yourself, or friends with some, FUREVER gives you an intimate look into the gratitude and grief that goes with loving your pet. —T.W.

Illiterate and unwashed, he works in his uncle’s junkyard. In Gattu’s town, everyone is obsessed with kite-flying. One black kite called Kali rules the skies in battle, but no one knows who flies him. Determined to cut Kali down, Gattu discovers that a school’s forbidden roof is the best kite-flying site, and he poses as an exchange student to get access. But when Gattu pretends to read holding his books upside down, the other students smell a rat. Making the best of a sticky situation, Gattu enlists the kids as detectives on his “anti-terrorist mission.” Someone has infiltrated the school, he says, and he needs to get past the teachers and send a message to his handler by flying a kite from the roof. Gattu’s Mission Impossible-style plan involves locking the watchman in the loo and using a sheep as a distraction. Will Gattu’s hard-headedness pay off, or has he gone too far this time?

Boyle has saved many lives with his Homeboy Industries, a working model for the transformation of young criminals into productive citizens. His forthright, take-no-B.S. manner allows him to forge peace agreements and employ former gang members and parolees who would never have been welcome elsewhere. With a thriving café, bakery, screen-printing business, tattoo-removing service, and classes on parenting, anger management, and much more, Homeboy would seem to be a huge success. Mayors and the Hollywood elite have given their support and former first lady Barbara Bush invited three Homeboy workers to Washington for a White House dinner. However, after two decades of success, the recession strikes and the enterprise risks financial ruin. Nevertheless, G-Dog’s homies are fiercely loyal, and they’re not going down without a fight. In a world with too few heroes, G-DOG is for real. —B.B.
