Looks like "Broken Hill Blues" will have its North American Premier at the Tribeca Film Festival.

It has been chosen for the "Viewpoints" Non-competition category. There does not appear to be a schedule yet.

These guys with Lina need to do something with their 90's" Kid n Play" hair style, like get a new barber.

More on the Kiruna move:

I suppose it all comes down to one simple fact: Kiruna exists because the mine exists. If the decision was made to close the mine instead of moving the town, then most, if not all of the people would probably have to leave. Not an easy choice, but there it is.

I live near a small town which has basically died since the only major business shut down. People still live there, but now the business district has virtually disappeared. People now have to drive-sometimes long distances-to find work and to shop. There's not much incentive for the young to stay, that's certain.

The film will be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival next week.

Thanks for another update on Ms. Leandersson!

Here's a mostly good review of "Broken Hill Blues" from VARIETY.
Lina Leandersson does a standout performance....As usual.

It's a good review in that it gave me a better sense of how the movie portrays Kiruna and its people. It is remarkable that the film and the impending move of the town are happening now. I would love to know how the town's people respond to the film. Nice pic of Lina, too.

I think the English title "Broken Hill Blues" is a little unfortunate. Makes the movie seem as though it might have been made somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains. I just hope that Lina's efforts since LTROI will someday be available on DVD. That's probably the only way they will receive much notice outside of Europe.

Now if they do great box office in Europe, that's a different matter. Does anyone know how well they have done in release there?
