Columbus: FESTIVAL LATINO TO CONTINUE IN 2009 [by Anonymous]

Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:13:32 -0300

Columbus, OH:: Columbus: FESTIVAL LATINO TO CONTINUE IN 2009
The Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA) will present Festival Latino. The long-running festival, previously presented by the Columbus Recreation and Parks Department, was recently discontinued as part of City budget cuts; however, this change enables the largest Hispanic event in Ohio to return in 2009.

â€œIâ€™ve called on all our residents to step up during these difficult times, and CAPA has answered the call,â€ said Mayor Michael B. Coleman. â€œI thank the board and staff of CAPA for allowing Columbus to continue to enjoy Festival Latino at a time when public dollars are scarce.â€

â€œWhen the City approached us about the festival, we were thrilled to be in a position to respond,â€ stated CAPA Board President Mike Petrecca. â€œWe are honored to present the 14th annual Festival Latino and look forward to bringing the best of traditional and contemporary Latin-American culture to Columbus.â€

The 2009 Festival Latino will return to Genoa Park, but will move to Saturday & Sunday, August 15 & 16, from 11am-8pm each day. Admission will be free. The festival will feature Ohio-based Latino bands and dance companies, as well as national music acts which reflect the diversity of central Ohioâ€™s Latin audiences. The festival will continue to provide a variety of family entertainment and delicious Latin cuisine. American Family Insurance will return as presenting sponsor for the event.

â€œWe consider it a privilege to sponsor Festival Latino again in 2009,â€ said Louis Besses of American Family Insurance. â€œThe festivalâ€™s continued dedication to and enrichment of the Latino community are just some of the reasons why we come back every year.â€

The festival will be coordinated by a steering committee of local Hispanic leaders to help shape the festival and ensure its success.

â€œFestival Latino has brought great music, great food, and a diverse audience to downtown Columbus for many years,â€ stated Luis Alcalde, chair of the Festival Latino steering committee.

â€œThe steering committee is grateful and excited that Festival Latino will continue, and with the help and dedication of its members, will make certain this will be a truly great event.â€

To share a suggestion or comment about Festival Latino with the steering committee, members of the community can call (614)719-6744 or send an email to festival@capa.com.

Additional details will be announced as available.

Columbus: Upcoming Spanish Language films the Wex [by Anonymous]

Columbus, OH:: Columbus: Upcoming Spanish Language films the Wex
wexner center for the arts

http://www.wexarts.org/fv/index.php?eventid=4003">Tony Manero (Pablo Larrain, 2008)

Fri–Sat, July 10–11 | 7 pm

$7 | general public

$5 | students and members

“Few of this year’s films will surprise and elicit reflection like Tony Manero.”—Toronto International Film Festival [quote for print]

Imagine Travis Bickle from Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver obsessed with disco dancing and John Travolta’s character from Saturday Night Fever instead of Jodie Foster, and you’ll have some sense of the harrowing and satiric tone of Tony Manero. Perfectly capturing its time and place (1978 Chile), the film becomes a subtle yet startling allegory as the horrible acts done by the John Travolta–wannabe in the name of pursuing a Hollywood fantasy mirror the country’s larger reign of terror caused by the dictator Augusto Pinochet. (98 mins., 35mm)

http://www.wexarts.org/fv/index.php?eventid=4005">The Headless Woman (Lucrecia Martel, 2008)

Fri–Sat, July 24–25 | 7 pm

$7 | general public

$5 | students and members

“The work of a genius, or at the very least one of the most talented film-makers in the world.”—The Guardian (UK)

The extraordinary third film by Lucrecia Martel, the most distinctive director of the Argentine New Wave, gets inside the head of an upper-class dentist who might have accidentally run over a child…or a dog…or nothing at all. After recovering from a mild head injury, she is overcome by a sense of guilt and uncertainty about what—if anything—she might have done. As the world becomes strange for the dentist, and for the audience sharing her disoriented perspective, puzzling clues emerge. Once again Martel proves to be a master of mood and filmmaking as The Headless Woman recalls works by David Lynch, Luis Buñuel, and Michelangelo Antonioni, but in a more subtle and nuanced register. (87 mins., 35mm)
