The Man Next Door
Argentina (2009)
Directors: Gastón Duprat & Mariano Cohn
103 min. Subtitles in English

Two neighbors find they have different ideas about what's considered intrusive in this comedy from Argentina. Leonardo is an industrial designer with a passion for architecture, and the pride and joy of his life is his home, a villa designed by Le Corbusier, the only example of his architecture in Latin America and a masterpiece of 20th Century style. Tightly-wound Leonardo is happy in his home until his next door neighbor Victor decides to make some changes to his place, exposing a rift that goes beyond building alterations to touch on class and social status.

Movies that in some ways highlight aspects of Hispanic culture: whether serious or just plain fun, HoLa Cinema is always relevant.
A place to bring your friends, or to come alone and meet new friends. An Informal pre-movie gathering where Spanish-speaking is optional / a fun way to practice your Spanish if Spanish is not your native language. An opportunity for lively interactions about the movie in the post-film discussion. Great food, prepared especially for the occasion - sometimes a complete meal, or sometimes only dessert. Always on the second Monday of the month, unless otherwise noted.

Informal gathering at 6:00. Get in the spirit of the movie enjoying spicy albóndigas (meatballs), dessert, coffee, sodas and wine.
The movie starts at 6:30 and the bilingual discussion follows the movie. Cost: $6.00 ($5.00 for HoLa members) for movie, dinner and beverages. Help us plan better by letting us know if you will be attending - Call 865-335-3358 by 10-11-13 or e-mail: casahola@holafestival.org

Not many groups have rituals; let along those that demand reverence and praise. Ghost fortifies their stage prominence through a delivery of sweetly satanic melodies, snaking distorted riffs, and vaudevillian keyboards as they tell the story of the fall of man and bring rise to the Antichrist.

Recent works by Dennis Sabo Photography will be on display at the Tomato Head Restaurant-Market Square in downtown Knoxville from October 5 - November 1 and at the Tomato Head-Bearden location from November 3-December 7. His art exhibit entitled "Leafing Impressions" is an impressionistic and expressionistic viewpoint of the autumn grandeur that Mother Nature has provided to us.

Sabo says, "I challenge myself to capture common subjects that are often overlooked and then refine the photograph into an interpretive collage of color, motion, and textures. With a global community very much focused on environmental impact and fragile ecosystems, my artwork captures natural images and color with a perspective people easily miss." Dennis Sabo is an internationally award winning photographer specializing in contemporary fine art abstract, and scenic photography. His fine art prints interweave his creative compositional expressions and vivid colors into nature’s greater scheme of things. Dennis has refined the photograph into an interpretive collage of colors, and texture. His artwork and photography has appeared in a variety of books and magazines that include Canon, NOVA, PBS, Living Southern Style, Hilton Hotels, NBC, Ocean Conservancy, Shedd Aquarium-Chicago, and Blue Planet. His fine art has been included in gallery exhibitions at the Blowing Rocks Preserve-Hobe Sound, FL., Arts in the Airport Spring 2011/13 Exhibition-Knoxville, TN, the National Juried 2012/13 Exhibition-Knoxville, TN, Emporium Gallery- Knoxville, TN, Red Line Gallery-Farragut, TN, the Dogwood Regional Fine Art 2012 Exhibition-Knoxville, TN, Bliss Home Designs 2013, and ongoing at "The Art Market Gallery", Knoxville, Tennessee. www.dsabophoto.com
