Still floating: The National Film Preservation Foundation said Wednesday that the 1,000th film to get its support for preservation was a 1920 silent adaptation of Mark Twain’s “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,” using a print that was found in Denmark.

More awards: PEN USA, the writers group, is giving its 2006 literary awards to Percival Everett for “Wounded” (fiction), Michael Chorost for “Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human” (creative nonfiction) and Adam Hochschild for “Bury the Chains: Prophets and Rebels in the Fight to Free an Empire’s Slaves” (research nonfiction).

In the works: Two gospel musicals -- “Mama, I Want to Sing” and “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” -- are being produced as movies by Codeblack Entertainment for FoxFaith, the newly formed unit of 20th Century Fox that is making films for the Christian market.
