The Frames @ The Fillmore 4/7

[Reod Dai]

I definitely wouldn't mind catching the Philly show, but I probably won't be able to make it.  I remember thinking about driving over there for the Swell Season show (because the Iota show was so amazing), but decided not to bother when I discovered it was sold out.  Seeing a show in Philly on a weeknight is rough.

Limited release in the States right now (mostly film festivals).  They're considering a small release on May 18 (LA, NY, SF, Chicago) and then, if it does well, a nationwide release 2 weeks later.

I forgot to add that the 9:30 Club show will be broadcast by NPR.

That's a great sign for cities not announced as the first release cities (May 18).  Experience tells me those screenings likely mean that those cities will see the final release before June.

[georgewendt]

thanks for the update.

i'd be checking out this film at film fest dc if i wasn't tied up tonight and tommorow night:
 
 www.filmfestdc.com
 
 Beauty in Trouble
 Kraska v nesnazich
 
 JAN HREBEJK
 Czech Republic, 2006, 110 minutes, Color
 
 In Person: Director Jan Hrebejk (April 23 only)
 
 4/23 8.45pm
 
 4/24 8.45pm
 
 The newest film from director Jan Hrebejk and long-time screenwriting partner Petr Jarchovsky (Divided We Fall, Up and Down). Young mother Marcela (Zelary star Ana Geislerova), having lost everything in the 2002 floods that swept through Prague, lives in the chop shop run by her decent but desperate mechanic husband Jarda (Roman Luknar). When Jarda is thrown into jail, Marcela begins a hesitant relationship with émigré Czech wine seller Evzen Benes (Josef Abrham) under the watchful eye of her mother Zdena (Jana Brejchova) and bitter step-father Richard (Jiri Schmitzer). Inevitably, recent history intrudes on the lives of these well-meaning Czechs in this delicate, emotionally complex widescreen drama. Beauty in Trouble features choice tunes from Irish singer Glen Hansard, whose breakout performance in John Carney's Once was the hit of the 2007 Sundance festival. - Eddie Cockrell

You can now  RSVP for the May 3 showing in Georgetown, though this does not guarantee you a seat.
