Preservation Hall Jazz Band have unveiled the release date to their A Tuba to Cuba album. The soundtrack from their documentary of the same name will be released on June 28th via Sub Pop.
In February, the band released the T.G. Herrington and Danny Clinch-directed A Tuba to Cuba documentary, which chronicled the group’s visit to Cuba. It followed band leader Ben Jaffe as he worked to retrace the connection of New Orleans jazz to indigenous Cuban music, which was a dream of his late father, Preservation Hall founder Allan Jaffe.

The 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival is set to run June 17-27 in a brand new location. Oh, it’s still in L.A, but it’s moving across town, from Westwood — where it’s been held the past few years — all the way over to Downtown.
The main “hub” for the fest will be the new L.A. Live complex, but there will also be screenings at other locations, such as the Downtown Independent and Redcat theaters. The city is really trying to build downtown up into a major arts and culture hub, so the festival moving there fits in with that agenda. Film Independent, the organization that runs Laff, also runs the annual Independent Spirit Awards, an event that also moved downtown — from Santa Monica — this year.

Ryan Piers Williams’ “The Dry Land,” a Sundance Film Festival favorite, took home the top prize at the Dallas International Film Festival Friday evening, earning a $25,000 cash prize for the Target Filmmaker Award for Best Narrative Feature. In addition, Lucy Walker’s “Waste Land” received a $25,000 cash prize for the Target Filmmaker Award for Best Documentary Feature.
“Dry Land” stars America Ferrera and Wilmer Valderrama were on hand during the fest. Their film follows a U.S. soldier as he returns home from Iraq to Texas and tries to assimilate back into society.
The Documentary competition jury also gave a Special Jury Prize to Michael Pertnoy’s and Michael Kleiman’s “The Last Survivor” and a Special Mention for Editing (for Claire Didier’s work on the film) to Mark Landsman’s “Thunder Soul.”

As I previously said, in an agreement with the Sundance Film Festival, YouTube has been screening both Sundance short films and features on its website all week.
I haven’t had time to watch every title available, but I plan on getting a few in before they are gone – because they will eventually be removed from YouTube, once the festival is over, which happens this Sunday, the 31st.
So you’ve got a couple of days left.
Here’s a short film I profiled some time ago here, titled Mr Okra.
Written and directed by T.G. Herrington, the film is an “intimate look at one of New Orleans’ most colorful characters: the charismatic vegetable salesman ‘Mr. Okra,’ who provides a glimpse into the soul of an American city.”

Here's the Austin film-related news for today:
Sundance starts tonight, and as we've mentioned before, Austin is well represented this year. Filmmaker Bryan Poyser has been getting ready for his Lovers of Hate premiere with a poster (tagline is catchy, but I'm not sure I like it) and a very cool little comic/booklet with illustrations of the filmmakers and cast. Another Austin-related addition to Sundance this year: Mr. Okra, a doc about a New Orleans produce vendor, which won the Austin Film Festival's audience award for a short documentary in 2009. Nola.com has a profile of filmmaker T.G. Herrington and his title subject. Still more on Austin at Sundance: some Kut interviews; an article about Thompson, a short that played SXSW last year before heading to Park City this week; and an Austin American-Statesman profile of the Zellner brothers, who are taking Fiddlestixx to the fest.

Austin Film Festival organizers said Thursday that Jason Reitman's "Up in the Air" has drawn this year's Out of Competition Audience Award.

The winners were determined by audience voting during the festival's Oct. 22-29 run.
Tim VandeSteeg's nonfiction feature "My Run" shared the documentary feature competition audience award with Tisha Blood's "Torey's Distraction." Audience award winners for short films included Kat Candler (narrative), Liliana Greenfield-Sanders (narrative student), T.G. Herrington (documentary) and Chris Perry (animated).
