Film Festival, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">BAD REPUTATION</b> returns to Cleveland. Joan Jett is so much more than I Love Rock 'n' Roll. It's true, she became mega-famous from the number-one hit, and that fame intensified with the music video's
endless play on MTV. But that staple of popularity can't properly define a musician. Jett put her hard work in long before the fame, ripping it up onstage as the backbone of the hard-rock legends The Runaways, influencing many musicians both her cohort of
punk rockers and generations of younger bands with her no-bullshit style. Bad Reputation gives you a wild ride as Jett and her close friends tell you how it really was in the burgeoning '70s punk scene, and their interviews are laced with amazing archival
footage. The theme is clear: even though people tried to define Jett and keep her stuck to one hit, she never compromised. She will kick your ass, and you'll love her all the more for it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight:normal">MATANGI / MAYA / M.I.A.</b> is a startlingly personal profile of the critically acclaimed artist, chronicling her remarkable journey from refugee immigrant to pop star. She began as Matangi. Daughter of the founder of
Sri Lanka's armed Tamil resistance, she hid from the government in the face of a vicious and bloody civil war. When her family fled to the UK, she became Maya, a precocious and creative immigrant teenager in London. Finally, the world met her as M.I.A. when
she emerged on the global stage, having created a mashup, cut-and-paste identity that pulled from every corner of her journey along the way; a sonic sketchbook that blended Tamil politics, art school punk, hip-hop beats and the unwavering, ultra-confident
voice of a burgeoning multicultural youth. Never one to compromise on her vision, Maya kept her camera rolling throughout.
