Jim,
I watched the streamed film-interview event last evening, but I do not believe that The Jim Garrison Tapes is a "new" film. This film was released in the early 1990s shortly after Oliver Stone's JFK.
In a director's cut version of JFK released around the year 2000, the DVD package includes The Jim Garrison Tapes, as well as a short film on the ARRB, which is narrated by Jim DiEugenio. In the screening last evening, John Barbour provided the narration to the film. But as far as I can tell, that was the only feature that was "new," unless he added some additional footage.
Also, in the blog accompanying the film, the UNLV technical staff indicated that the film and panelists' comments will be available for purchase on Amazon and iTunes.
Still, I agree with you that the panelists' remarks were enlightening and well worth the time. It is simply outrageous that these five outstanding writers/researchers/filmmakers (John Barbour, Jim Marrs, Joan Mellen, Dick Russell, and John Armstrong) were not featured promiently in the the mainstream documentaries fed to the American public at the time of the 50th anniversary.
Finally, I have a question for you. In the audience of last evening's event, there was a man who identified himself as "Jan," who claimed to be a Marine buddy of Oswald's. What do you make of this fellow? I did not recognize the name of "Jan" as any of the known Marine cohorts of Oswald.
