As you are well aware the UCLA Film Archive just completed its three month long film festival of movies made by the "L.A. Rebelllion" group of black filmmakers which explored the lasting impact and importance of these films. Several of those films that were screened were reviewed here by Brandon Wilson and Nijla Mumin.

Warner Brothers has just released a new clip for the upcoming musical comedy Joyful Noise. Filmed in Georgia and written/directed by Todd Graff, the film tells the story of a "small town choir out to win a national competition despite overwhelming odds. A story of faith and determination by the choir leaders (Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton) and the young talent who give their all to win god's praise and beat the competition for the grand prize."

And about time too! But seriously, in this Sunday's New York Times there's a front page article written by Nelson George in the Arts and Lesiure section (read HERE) about the current crop of independent black filmmakers working today. The very same filmmakers we deal with practically every day right here on S & A.

Here's a terrific musical short for your holiday enjoyment. This is Duke Ellington and his band from the 1933 music short film Bundle of Blues.

I'm sure this film doesn't need much of an intro, so I won't bother with one. Here are 2 of its co-stars, Tristan Wilds and Michael B. Jordan giving us a pair of behind-the-scenes video looks at Red Tails, producer George Lucas' Tuskegee Airmen WWII action/drama, directed by Anthony Hemingway.

Fox Searchlight has released two new video featurettes for Steve McQueen's NC-17 rated drama Shame; which, by the way, I finally got the chance to see last week and highly recommend :-).

More footage from Pariah press day in New York City was a few weeks ago, and, in the rush of it all, I was able to chat with some of its starring cast (Adepero Oduye, Kim Wayans and Pernell Walker), its director (Dee Rees), and producer (Nekisa Cooper).

In anticipation to the Sundance Film Festival, which runs this upcoming January 19-29, Sundance.org released a video earlier today called Meet The Artists '12: Ava Duvernay, in which our much celebrated, and rightly so African American Film Releasing Movement (AFFRM) founder talks about her inspiration for getting into filmmaking and provides a few details on her new film Middle of Nowhere, which has been accepted into the festival's U.S. dramatic feature film competition lineup.
