86 FILMS A – Z [H] The 37th Cleveland International Film Festival IT’S EASY BEING GREEN LOCAL HEROES GREG GUND MEMORIAL STANDING UP FILM COMPETITION WOMEN OF THE WORLD Heart of Sky, Heart of Earth Directed by Eric Black, Frauke Sandig GERMANY 2011 98 minutes Monday, April 8 Tuesday, April 9 8:25 PM I Code SKYE08 2:05 PM I Code SKYE09 From the Mayan creation story the Popol Vuh, we know that “Heart of Sky” is the world’s maker, part of the Mayan cosmovision of oneness with nature. This exquisitely beautiful film introduces us to present-day Mayans, from the highlands of Chiapas to the Lacandon Jungle, who are convinced that humans have forgotten how to live in balance. Keen observers of the modern interplay of economics and nature, they are distraught by the change of weather and the destruction of the earth. We meet a peaceful people—mistreated for centuries— who protest the Guatemalan authorities’ razing of a holy mountain to mine for gold (the miners’ use of cyanide is causing skin rashes and poisoning the water). The Popol Vuh tells about wooden men with no souls who once ruled but became so selfish that they were destroyed. HEART OF SKY, HEART OF EARTH is a lyrical call for us to heed the wisdom of the ancients before it’s too late. (In Spanish and Maya with subtitles) —B.B.

Collaborative Filmography~“After the Fall” (1999), “Frozen Angels” (2005), HEART OF SKY, HEART OF EARTH (2011) Here One Day Directed by Kathy Leichter USA 2012 76 minutes Wednesday, April 10 Thursday, April 11 12:05 PM I Code HERE10 8:45 PM I Code HERE11 There’s an empty chair in the sunlight, surrounded by shadows. Filmmaker Kathy Leichter will never stop missing the light and dark presence of her gifted mother Nina, who took her life by jumping out of a window in the family’s New York apartment. Nina, who suffered from bipolar disorder, accomplished beautiful things in her lifetime: she was an educational leader, an artist, a loving mother to two bright children, and the helpmate to her husband Franz, a State Senator whose own mother, an Austrian feminist, was murdered by the Nazis. Sixteen years after Nina’s death, Kathy begins to gently free herself from her mother’s grip by fashioning HERE ONE DAY, an emotionally raw yet delicate tribute. Nina has passed many things on to Kathy, including her physical appearance and her poetic soul. In a mosaic of home footage, family interviews, and contemplative nature images, Kathy captures her anguish at losing her mother to mental illness, even as she finds a measure of solace in reconstructed memories. —B.B.

Especially if the gay guy from Ugly Betty directs it. And Ralph Macchio plays your ex-boyfriend. HE’S WAY MORE FAMOUS THAN YOU is a raucous, raunchy, hilarious film about Feiffer trying to save her own career with the help of some friends. In a fame-whoring, TMZ-watching, wannabe star culture, Feiffer gives the comedic performance of this year’s CIFF as a wreck of a has-been who is out to remind the Hollywood machine what she could have been: herself. —T.W.

Filmography~HE’S WAY MORE FAMOUS THAN YOU (2012) Highway Directed by Deepak Rauniyar NEPAL 2012 75 minutes Thursday, April 11 Friday, April 12 12:20 PM I Code HIGH11 9:50 PM I Code HIGH12 Though still a Shangri-la for trekkers, Nepal recently emerged from a 12-year civil conflict. Strikes, power cuts, and political impasses, as well as extensive road blockades known as “bandhs,” still disrupt the lives of all social classes. Against this background, and the breathtaking physical background of Himalayan mountain peaks, HIGHWAY takes us on one humorous but ill-fated bus journey from eastern Nepal to Kathmandu. As we churn along, we are introduced to the stories of several passengers, each of whom urgently need to be somewhere else. The bus hasn’t been on the road long when it is stopped by a strike. Tired of being stuck in place for hours, the frustrated passengers come up with a creative way of getting through the blockade. HIGHWAY explores the psychological and spiritual “bandhs” that many Nepalese contend with, turning the bus into a microcosm of the country. It might break down and it might get stuck at mountain passes and behind buffaloes, but its passengers are all in it together. (In Nepali with subtitles) —B.B. Producer~Deepak Rauniyar Screenwriting~Abinash Bikram Shah Cinematography~ Apal Singh, Jyoti Keshar Simha Editing~David Barker, Rita Meher, Deepak Rauniyar Principal Cast~Karma, Saugat Malla, Dayahang Rai, Asha Maya Magrati, Shristi Ghimire Print Source~The Film Sales Company / andrew.herwitz@filmsalescorp.com / www.filmsalescorp.com About the Director~Deepak Rauniyar was born in 1978 in the Eastern lowlands of Nepal.
