84 FILMS A – Z [G–H] The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival UNITED AIRLINES WORLD TOUR GEORGE GUND III MEMORIAL CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN FILM COMPETITION ISLAMIC AND ARAB SOCIETIES, WOMEN OF THE WORLD The Guardian (Bolo gaseirneba) Directed by Zaza Urushadze GEORGIA 2012 88 minutes Monday, April 8 Tuesday, April 9 6:40 PM I Code GUAR08 4:15 PM I Code GUAR09 Wednesday, April 10 1:55 PM I Code GUAR10 Tbilisi, 1994. After the fall of the Soviet system and the chaos of civil war, Georgia is controlled by criminal gangs. In the aftermath of a shootout that kills his best friend Gio, Gogliko is sent to prison. Fifteen years later, Gogliko is a free man in a changed country. His parents are dead and most of his friends were killed in the war. Unsure how to navigate this “new” Georgia, he concentrates on protecting Gio’s teenage son. Luka is an A student with a girlfriend named Tika and interests in computers and politics, about which his guardian has no clue. Gogliko sticks to what he knows—how to get rid of Luka’s rival, how to treat elders with respect, and how to stand by his friends. But Tika’s father, a Member of Parliament, takes violent objection to her relationship with Luka. Gogliko will protect his godson as only he knows how. THE GUARDIAN is a wry, offbeat drama from a fascinating country we seldom see on screen. (In Georgian with subtitles) —B.B.

Beaten and ostracized by her Muslim family, Safija gave the infant boy to the childless Halima to raise, telling Slavo it was stillborn. Twenty-five years later, the devastating war has ended. Bodies are being identified through DNA samples and returned to families for burial. Halima’s husband is found, but the boy cannot be returned to her without a blood sample. And that would have to come from Safija who ran away years ago and married Slavo. When Halima finally locates her, Safija refuses the blood test because she is afraid her husband will discover her deception. And other deceptions could be uncovered as well, including the shocking identity of the soldier who took Halima’s husband and the boy to their deaths. A heart-wrenching and beautiful story of a nation struggling to bring closure to a brutal conflict, HALIMA’S PATH follows the courageous journey of a woman trying to make peace with the past and find hope for the future.

PROGRAM UPDATES > www.clevelandfilm.org < TICKETS > Call 877.304.FILM FILMS A –Z 85 FOCUS ON FILMMAKERS GREG GUND MEMORIAL STANDING UP FILM COMPETITION CINEMA EN ESPAÑOL ISLAMIC AND ARAB SOCIETIES Harvest of Empire Directed by Peter Getzels, Eduardo López USA 2012 90 minutes Wednesday, April 10 Friday, April 12 7:15 PM I Code HARV10 4:35 PM I Code HARV12 (w/FilmForum) The immigration debate in America is a heated one. It can easily turn a family dinner table into a shouting match. But what often gets lost in all the yelling is the simple fact that immigrants are human beings. Their reasons for coming to our country are often out of desperation and a need for survival. As our leaders argue over how to solve the issue, they often leave out the fact that our past interference in Central and Latin American affairs has directly contributed to the influx of Latinos coming to the United States. Based on the book by journalist Juan Gonzalez, HARVEST OF EMPIRE investigates how events like the Iran-Contra affair, the training of oppressive militants at the School of the Americans, the Spanish- American War, and America’s role in Castro’s rise to power forced citizens of those countries to flee to safety within our borders. This documentary goes beyond the surface and reveals a part of the story that’s often left out of the conversation. (In English and Spanish with subtitles) —E.F. Producers~Wendy Thompson-Marquez, Eduardo López Cinematography~ James M. Felter Editing~Catherine Shields Print Source~EVS Communications / wthompson@evscommunications.com / www.evscommunications.com About the Directors~Peter Getzels has produced and directed Emmy Award-winning television documentaries for National Geographic Channel, PBS, and the BBC. He is the co-founder of Getzels Gordon Productions. Eduardo López is the co-founder of EVS Communications and producer of Linea Directa, a television show devoted to Latino public education. They both reside in Washington, D.C. Collaborative Filmography~HARVEST OF EMPIRE (2012) Hatred (Boghz) Directed by Reza Dormishian IRAN 2012 84 minutes Thursday, April 4 Friday, April 5 2:00 PM I Code HATR04 2:00 PM I Code HATR05 Sunday, April 7 9:00 PM I Code HATR07 Zhaleh is a tough young Iranian woman living in Istanbul. Dressed in biker black with kohl-rimmed eyes, she’s part of a marginal club crowd and determined to emigrate to the West. Hamed is a loose cannon, a crackhead graffiti artist also from Iran, who never bothered to learn Turkish. They meet outside a club, thrown together by their vague mutual need to escape. Soon, a half-baked exit plan is devised. While Zhaleh buys a passport and visa from a store in a crowded bazaar, Hamed robs his uncle’s Persian rug shop. But their plans go awry, and the young people run for it. Then, just when escape seems possible, Zhaleh disappears. The nervous camera chases Hamed through cacophonous bazaars, harbors, and junkyards as he tries desperately to find her. Flashbacks and fantasies haunt him; there are cries and whispers all around. Is life illusory, or is he delusional? HATRED is a vivid example of new Iranian cinema, an intriguingly edgy blend of fiction and reality. (In Farsi and Turkish with subtitles) —B.B.
