80 FILMS A – Z [G] The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival GREG GUND MEMORIAL STANDING UP FILM COMPETITION WOMEN OF THE WORLD SOMEONE TO WATCH 10% CINEMA, AMERICAN INDEPENDENTS Girl Rising Directed by Richard E. Robbins USA 2013 101 minutes Monday, April 8 Tuesday, April 9 6:30 PM I Code GIRL08 1:50 PM I Code GIRL09 Everyone knows Malala, the Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot by the Taliban. Malala was attacked for voicing a simple principle: all girls should go to school. There are thousands of girls like Malala around the world who are standing up for their voices to be heard and their right to be educated, and the extraordinary GIRL RISING tells some of their stories. Wadly, from Haiti, refuses to leave a post-earthquake tent school when she can no longer pay. Suma, from Nepal, escapes bondage when a kind teacher helps change her life. Senna, from Peru, whose father died following a hard life as a miner, finds solace in poetry. Removing barriers to girls’ education—early marriage, sex trafficking, gender discrimination and violence, and limited healthcare—means a better life for girls and a safer, healthier world for us all. These brave young ladies are the best proof that change is coming. Narrated by Anne Hathaway, Selena Gomez, Meryl Streep, and more. (In English and Spanish, Creole, and Arabic with subtitles) —B.B.

Filmography~“Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience” (2007), GIRL RISING (2013) The Go Doc Project Directed by Cory Krueckeberg USA 2013 95 minutes Friday, April 5 Saturday, April 6 10:00 PM I Code GODC05 4:45 PM I Code GODC06 A wild and exotic blend of narrative and documentary styles, THE GO DOC PROJECT is the video document of a relationship between two young gay men in New York City. Days before he graduates and leaves New York, “Doc” poses online as a documentary filmmaker in order to meet “Go,” a hunky male dancer he has become obsessed with on the internet. The ploy works and Doc suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the hot reality of his fantasy. Now, however, he has to move forward with this purported documentary. Go is all for it and is very willing to open up and be filmed with no boundaries. Doc finds himself swept along by his own daring gamble. As we watch both the documentary and the relationship unfold before our eyes, we too are swept along by Doc’s seat-of-his-pants project and the unexpected twists and turns it takes. Exuberantly filmed and intensely erotic, this is a visual treat for the romantic (and voyeur) in each of us. —C.R.

Uganda, this film proposes, has become ground zero to test ways in which church-backed legislation could be created to bring unquestioning compliance to Biblical law. The film tracks American influences that lead to the infamous “Kill The Gays” bill, which provides for the execution of gays and lesbians. Talking to religious leaders both passionately for and against these tactics, GOD LOVES UGANDA takes an unblinking look at religious fervor, unquestioning obedience, and the uses and abuses of God in politics. As it follows young missionaries and explores the frenzy to pass the anti-gay legislation, this documentary shies from no viewpoint. Whether you see it as God’s work or the spread of dangerous and hateful dogma, this film will shake you to your spiritual and human core. (In English and Luganda with subtitles) —C.R. Producers~Julie Goldman, Roger Ross Williams Screenwriting~Roger Ross Williams, Richard Hankin, Benjamin Gray Cinematography~Derek Wiesehahn Editing~Richard Hankin, Benjamin Gray Print Source~Full Credit Productions / carolyn@mottopictures.com / www.godlovesuganda.com About the Director~Roger Ross Williams is an award-winning writer, producer, and director of short and feature documentaries for film and television. He won the 2010 Academy Award ® for Documentary Short Subject. Filmography~GOD LOVES UGANDA (2013) Going on 13 Directed by Kristy Guevara-Flanagan, Dawn Valadez USA 2008 86 minutes Friday, April 5 Saturday, April 6 7:40 PM I Code GOIN05 5:10 PM I Code GOIN06 GOING ON 13 is a mesmerizing documentary by Kristy Guevara-Flanagan and community worker Dawn Valadez. Adolescent girls from multi-ethnic families in the San Francisco Bay area have a lot on their minds these days: peer pressure, boys, and their changing bodies. Also immigrant life and divorce. We first get to know four of these girls when they’re nine. We then follow them at school and home over several years as the filmmakers record their evolving thoughts and dreams. Ariana is a brash, sporty African-American girl who gets into fights. Esmeralda, whose parents are Mexican, is overweight and usually in love. Isha feels stifled by her extended Indian family. Rosie’s parents are divorced; her mom suffers from PTSD and her dad’s a Nicaraguan immigrant. It’s hugely rewarding to see these young ladies forming their own identities and you’ll want to cheer them on as they navigate the treacherous waters of 21st-century society. If you were GOING ON 13, you’d be lucky to have friends like directors Kristy and Dawn. —B.B.
