*****SPAM***** BREAKING NEWS - "Liberty Bound" supports Michael Moore's films - Wide in Cannes 2004
by Wide Cannes 2004 06 May '04

06 May '04

Paris, May the 6th 2004 Disney Miramaxs owner, has officially decided to prohibit Michael Moores producer, Miramax, from distributing, Fahrenheit 9.11. Disney argues that the release of this film documentary will endanger millions of dollars of tax breaks that Disney receives from the Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush. As you should know, the film, Fahrenheit 9.11, links Mr. Bush and prominent Saudis like the family of Osama Bin Laden. Then he criticizes Mr. Bush's actions before and after the September 11th s terrorist attacks, as well as Christine Roses first 90 minutes film documentary Liberty Bound which deals with he same tricky issues. May 19th Riviera 8 6.00 PM May 21st Palais F 9.30 AM Christine Rose let us know that she gets her inspiration directly from Michael Moores work, that she admires, despite the fact she doesnt met him yet: Moores Bowling for Columbine touched the common citizen in America (). The answer to my own sense of duty as a citizen with a desire to convey information blacked-out by the mainstream media to an uninformed public was to make a movie. Cannes movies festival should be the opportunity for Michael Moore to see her alternative work; he would appreciate Liberty Bound which is definitely in the same line than Fahrenheit 9.11. And if Moore is answering now Should this be happening in a free and open society where the moneyed interests essentially call the shots regarding the information that the public is allowed to see?. What is sure is that by being distributed by our France-based company Wide Management, Liberty Bound wont have such unexpected issue to face. For the freedom of the 7th art, we are waiting to see you in Cannes, and we do hope that you will attend the screenings of Liberty Bound during the market.

06 May '04

MUKTA ARTS LTD PRESENTS Subhash Ghai, leading Indian film maker invited to the Cannes Festival -To promote his latest epic extravaganza "KISNA" which is being shot in English & Hindi simultaneously- Subhash Ghai, a leading Indian filmmaker will be in Cannes from 12th to 18th May 2004 to promote his forthcoming film "KISNA" - which is being shot in Hindi and English simultaneously so as to reach out to a larger audience across the world. With 25 yrs of experience as writer, director and producer and some of Indian cinema's biggest blockbusters in recent memory including KARZ, KARMA, HERO, TAAL and PARDES etc behind him, Subhash Ghai has been a pioneer in many aspects related to the Indian entertainment industry. His company Mukta Arts is the benchmark for other companies in the industry to follow. Mukta Arts was the first Indian entertainment company to list on the Bombay Stock Exchange; and TAAL from the Mukta Arts stable was the first Indian film ever to be insured. Mr. Ghai has attended various forums on entertainment across the world and is at present the Chairman of Confederation of India Industry-Entertainment Sector. It is his experience, his passion and his forward thinking that has made the French Cultural Minister Jean-Jacques Aillagon and Gilles Jacob, the President of the Festival of Cannes Government of France invite him to be a part of the round table on Anti Piracy at this years Cannes Film Festival. The round table is a special initiative to confront the issues of piracy and digital technologies. This round table will witness the presence of Chairmen of the biggest movie studios around the world, including participation from China, Russia, Europe and the United States. Subhash Ghai has earned the respect that comes with being a veteran director. Starting as a partnership firm in 1978 under his leadership, Mukta Arts has grown in leaps and bounds to become the first Indian Film Production Company to place an IPO in 2000. With 12 blockbusters under his belt, there has been much appreciation for his work for his biggest Indian blockbusters worldwide such as Karz (1980), Hero (1983), Karma (1985) Ram Lakhan (1989), Saudagar (1991), Khalnayak (1993), Pardes (1997), Taal (1999) and Yaadein (2001). The latest film produced under the Mukta Arts banner 'Joggers Park' too has received much critical acclaim including at the Cairo and Canadian film festivals. With Mukta Arts Ltd making forays into the entire business of entertainment including distribution, state-of-the-art equipment for world-class production and post production operations, today much of Mr. Ghai's time is distributed between his two dreams- the setting up Whistling Woods International, a $ 20 million world class film and television institute in Mumbai, that would offer international standard training to Indian and foreign students hoping to make a mark in the domestic film industry and internationally; and "KISNA", his $ 6 million dollar period drama set during film set during Indian independence for the global market which is scheduled for by November 2004. "KISNA" stars Vivek Oberoi, British actress Antonio Bernath and Isha Shravani, a renowned dancer from Kerala in the lead roles along with British actors Michael Maloney, Caroline Langrishe and veteran actress Polly Adams. The cast is supported with a talented team of Indian actors including Hrishita Bhatt, Amrish Puri, Om Puri and Rajat Kapur. "KISNA" is an epic duel between 'Karma' and 'Dharma'. This musical love story with an adventurous backdrop of 1940s in India has two veteran music composers A.R. Rahman and Ismail Darbar with lyrics by Javed Akhtar - rare music expected to surpass all Subhash Ghai films. Shot on a budget of Rs. 30 crores on sync sound under the Director of Audiography - Dilip Subramaniam at Ranikhet in India, "KISNA" is being photographed by National Award winner and renowned Cinematographer Ashok Mehta with another National Award winner Samir Chanda as Production Designer and Art Director.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Phil Hobden, Modern Life? phil(a)mod-life.com “Left For Dead” is ready to awaken The Cannes Market “Will knock the socks off anything the US can produce…” Kungfucinema.com May 11, 2004—London, UK “Left for Dead” will change the pulse at this year’s Cannes festival. It’s a revenge thriller set in a cold and unrelenting city with suspicious characters with questioning motives. The theme deals with betrayal, revenge and the ultimate prize in a new fashion. UK film can now say it’s picking up where Guy Ritchie left it and taking it to a different dimension. Left For Dead is the first UK independent martial arts feature, a true 70's styled grindhouse action film taking it's inspiration from genre classics such as Fist Of Fury, The Killer and Police Story. Williams is an assassin, betrayed and Left For Dead by his erstwhile colleagues. Kelso is a promising young kickboxer, who has his career violently cut short. Together they must team up to take down the criminal empire that hold's their city in a vice like grip. This action thriller twister is directed by up and coming UK native Ross Boyask who is well known for his innovative and stylish short films. Ross worked with his long-time collaborator Phil Hobden of Modern Life and writer Adrian Foiadelli to create the ‘mod film style’. “Left for Dead” shows that independent filmmakers can make quality entertaining action and high paced films on a low budget just as good if not better than Tinseltown. Stars from the film have appeared in Jackie Chan’s Accidental Spy, The Purifiers, Black Mask 2, Extreme Challenge, A Better Tomorrow 2, Danny The Dog, Distant Shadow and Pure Vengeance. The film also premieres newcomer Andy Prior as the promising protégé who gives a fresh performance to action characters. The variety of character complexes and themes make “Left for Dead” a sensor intense ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat to the end. With the specialized look, unique plot twist and remarkable talent “Left for Dead” will definitely be the talk and the catch of Cannes.
