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.

From the Frames email update:

A screening of ONCE.

John, Glen and Marketa will participate in a Q&A session with the
audience. Glen and Marketa will conclude the night by performing some songs
from the film. More information on the venues and how to get tickets
coming soon! Below is the schedule as it currently stands.

April 29th - Boston
May 2nd - Philadelphia
May 3rd - Washington D.C.
May 4th - Toronto
May 7th - Detroit
May 8th - Chicago
May 9th - St. Louis
May 10th - Memphis
May 11th - Dallas
May 14th - Phoenix
May 16th - San Diego
May 17th - San Francisco
May 18th - Seattle

so, i guess, as it stands, we dont yet know the theatres, but its being
distributed by fox searchlight, so im sure you internet savvy folks out
there can find out easy enough. post it on the board when and if you
can please - and - if i find out more info in the near future, ill whack
it up too…

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.

thanks for the update.

no update on the venue for the screening. i checked their myspace page and also fox searchlight but nothing there thus far:

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.

yup, I'll be there, hopefully in a DJing capacity but thats not finalized yet!

at this juncture it looks like I will be DJing the show (although things can change right up until showtime)

I'm coming to this one. I'll be the guy standing motionless in the middle of the floor staring lovingly into Glen's eyes.

Thanks for the heads up on the RSVP link, wizard.

Brennser, tell me more about the dj gig. Can you play anything you want or do you have some guidelines relative to the band each night?

yay! brennser is djing! woo hoo!

One of my fave's from the SF show too. Sounds like it's a staple for the tour.

Of that list I only know that Santa Maria was not played in SF.

smackie, show was about about hour and half, hour and three quarters, yes?

was hey day full band version, or was it a tack on to star star? its rare they do it as a separate song, in fact only time i've heard it is from an australian ep, about a year or so after mic christopher's death.

Is it just me or is the new Frames really disappointing? Glen's voice (from start to finish) sounds like he's moping because someone stole his lunch or his bike. The songs lack melodies and none of them are that memorable…

So how come there is no thread about the Damien Rice concert? …

damien rice's show in may is seriously going to be lackluster now that lisa hannigan left.

a wonderful song….and so much better live than on fitzcarraldo….every time I hear the intro to it (and the crowd reaction) on 'Setlist' it send shivers up my spine
