On Saturday, the CineVegas Film Festival will present the world premiere of the film "Dark Streets" at the Brenden Theatres at the Palms Hotel-Casino. The debut will be followed by a charity concert at the Palms Pool.

One of the featured performers is one of the film’s stars, Bijou Phillips, who will be accompanied by Grammy Award-winning blues musician Chris Thomas King, as well as other musicians from the film’s original soundtrack.

Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Louisiana Cultural Economy Foundation, an organization established to provide critical relief and recovery funds for artists and cultural organizations in Louisiana in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

"CineVegas is proud to continue its mission of giving back to the community," said CineVegas Artistic Director Trevor Groth. "Some of the world’s most gifted blues musicians contributed to the film. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate their artistry than to raise money for an organization that gives back to artists to keep the spirit of blues alive in Louisiana."

From director Rachel Samuels, "Dark Streets" is a stylish noir fever dream of blues music, seduction and murder set in the 1930s. Surrounded by the blues music he adores, and juggling a love triangle between two gorgeous singers at the club, Chaz Davenport (Gabriel Mann) is the envy of every man. But the truth is that his charmed life is spiraling out of control.

The film’s seven original on-camera music and dance numbers are choreographed by Keith Young (Rent), and feature Bijou Phillips and Izabella Miko, as well as Toledo Diamond and a stage full of L.A.’s most talented dancers.

Original off-camera songs are sung by some of the best contemporary blues artists alive today, including Dr. John, Etta James, Natalie Cole, Aaron Neville , Richie Sambora and Solomon Burke; and the film’s rich blues score composed by George Acogny also features performances by BB King.

Tickets to the screenings are $10 each and tickets to the concert are $25 each. Tickets can be purchased online, by calling 888-8VEGAS8 or at the CineVegas Box Office at the Brenden Theatres at the Palms.
