SUMMARY:Secret Mall Apartment screening at Central Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Secret Mall Apartment screening at Central Cinema  \nWednesday\, September 30 | 6 p.m.\nCentral Cinema\nKnoxville\, Tennessee \nJoin the Knoxville Museum of Art at Central Cinema for a special screening of Secret Mall Apartment (2024)\, a wildly inventive documentary directed by Jeremy Workman. \nIn 2003\, eight young Rhode Islanders secretly created an apartment inside the Providence Place Mall and lived there for four years\, documenting their unconventional home and artistic experiment along the way. They smuggled in furniture\, tapped into the mall’s electricity\, and even constructed a wall using more than two tons of cinderblock. \nWhat began as an audacious act of rebellion became something much more meaningful: a creative community\, a space for artistic expression\, a response to gentrification\, and an exploration of what it means to reclaim an unexpected place as your own. Featuring footage captured by the artists themselves\, Secret Mall Apartment offers a funny\, fascinating\, and poignant look at art\, friendship\, community\, and challenging the boundaries of public and private space. \nFilm: Secret Mall Apartment (2024)\nDirector: Jeremy Workman\nRuntime: 91 minutes\nGenre: Documentary\nLocation: Central Cinema\, 1205 N Central St\, Knoxville\, TN 37917 \nTickets: KMA Members: FREE | Non-Members: $5 \nPresented by: Knoxville Museum of Art

SUMMARY:No-Man's-Land Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the visionary work of Kentucky coal-miner-turned-evangelist Harrison Mayes after he experienced a life-changing epiphany\, No-Man’s-Land explores genres\, beings\, and geographies that exceed singular definition. Born in Tennessee in 1898\, Mayes’ placed concrete beacons across the country\, with plans for them to reach outer space\, and beyond. He installed these markers in so-called “no-man’s-land”—narrow\, ambiguous strips of land between state and private property where no one authority could claim jurisdiction. \nThis exhibition looks to artists who work in similarly uncharted territory. Bringing together contemporary practices that move through the borderlands between bodies\, spiritual traditions\, cultures\, countries\, and planets\, No-Man’s-Land considers how art inhabits these thresholds\, envisioning new ways of being in the spaces in between. \nThursday\, August 13th \n5:30 – 6:30 pm: Members Only Hour/Artists Discussion \n6:30 – 8:30 pm: Open to the Public \nHors d’oeuvres + Cash Bar + Specialty Beverage

SUMMARY:The Maltese Falcon at Central Cinema
DESCRIPTION:Join the Knoxville Museum of Art for a special screening of The Maltese Falcon (1941) at Central Cinema\, introduced by Eleni Palis\, Associate Professor of English and Cinema Studies at the University of Tennessee. This event celebrates Melancholia in Arcadia\, the current exhibition at the Eugenia Williams House\, and explores the visual language shared by film noir and Gabriel’s evocative installation. \nWidely regarded as one of the defining works of film noir\, The Maltese Falcon marked the directorial debut of John Huston and established many of the genre’s enduring visual and narrative conventions. Before the screening\, Dr. Palis—author of Classical Projections (Oxford University Press\, 2022) and a scholar whose work has appeared in Film Quarterly\, Camera Obscura\, Screen\, and Cinema Journal—will introduce the film and discuss its relationship to the exhibition. \nAs Gabriel reflects\, “If cinema is a language\, then it also has punctuation. Generally\, these punctuating elements of cinema are what is called the mood shots or other shots that punctuate the narrative like for instance\, the establishing shot. Now\, if anything\, Melancholia in Arcadia is a mood shot.” Mood shots\, establishing shots\, and other visual moments shape the emotional rhythm of a film. In that spirit\, Melancholia in Arcadia can be understood as a kind of cinematic mood shot: an image drawn from the vocabulary of film noir that announces the arrival of something or someone\, while inviting viewers into a space of mystery\, anticipation\, and atmosphere. \nScreening Details:\nWednesday\, August 5\n6:00 PM \nTickets: \nKMA Members: FREE \nNon-Members: $5 \nCentral Cinema\n1205 N Central Street\, Knoxville\, TN

SUMMARY:Christmas in July - Screenings at Central Cinema

The loose plot follows Pee-wee Herman compiling a massive\, mile-long wish list for Santa. When Santa finally arrives\, he reveals that fulfilling Pee-wee’s greedy demands means all the other children in the world will receive no presents.After realizing his mistake and getting prodded by his celebrity friends\, Pee-wee selflessly gives his gifts back to Santa\, and in return\, gets to ride in the sleigh to help deliver toys.\n\nEmmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas follows a poor\, widowed otter and her son who separately enter a local Christmas talent contest to win the $50 prize\, hoping to buy each other a holiday gift. Inspired by O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi\,” the heartfelt story is a classic Jim Henson musical.\n\nGrab your favorite holiday sweater (or Hawaiian shirt) and celebrate the most wonderful time of the year…six months early.
