Cinemavault Adds Bacall Thriller To MIFED Screening Line-Up
by Cinemavault Releasing 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

Wednesday, Nov 5, 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CINEMAVAULT ADDS BACALL THRILLER TO MIFED SCREENING LINE-UP Cinemavault Releasing is pleased to announce that it will be screening director Lewin Webb's taut new thriller The Limit during MIFED 2003. Featuring an outstanding cast including Academy Award nominated actress Lauren Bacall (Dogville, Misery), Academy Award nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite (The Usual Suspects, In the Name of the Father), and the talented Claire Forlani (Mystery Men, Meet Joe Black), The Limit is a tense psychological thrill-ride examining the dark side of human nature. May Markham (Bacall) is an elderly woman, living alone and struggling to maintain her independence. When her eccentric next door neighbor, Denny, is found murdered with a bullet in his skull, May's predictable day-to-day existence is shattered. The murder triggers a visit from Monica, who claims to be Denny's friend - and a police officer. But her intentions are anything but legal. As Monica lulls May under the false pretense of friendship, her real intentions slowly emerge: She is both a corrupt drug agent and the girlfriend of crime boss Gale Carmody (Postlethwaite). And May has something she needs. Cinemavault Releasing is handling worldwide distribution for the film, and following its world premiere at the Montreal World Film Festival, sales were made to key distributors including Alliance Atlantis (Canada), Art Free (Greece), New World Pictures (Thailand), Noah Films (Israel), Roscino (CIS), Delta (Former Yugoslavia), MPF (Indonesia), Pan Asia (Hong Kong), ECS (Middle East) and Guzzi (Mexico).

Cinemavault Adds Cyber-Hit To MIFED Screening Line-Up
by Cinemavault Releasing 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

Monday, Oct 6, 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CINEMAVAULT ADDS CYBER-HIT TO MIFED SCREENING LINE-UP Cinemavault Releasing is pleased to announce that it will be screening award-winning director Lynn Hershman Leeson's critical hit Teknolust during MIFED 2003. Widely hailed by critics as "sumptuous and steel blue beautiful", "brilliant", "intriguing and relevant", and "touching, cleverly visualized, and wittily written", Teknolust's all-star cast includes Jeremy Davies (Solaris, CQ) and "four stellar performances" from award-winning actress Tilda Swinton (Adaptation, Vanilla Sky). The film follows the story of Dr. Rosetta Stone, a shy and geeky virgin who downloads her own DNA into an artificial intelligence program creating a trio of clones named Ruby, Marine, and Olive. The clones have one defect - they lack male chromosomes, which can only be obtained through sperm. Armed with incredible powers of seduction, the trio descends upon the city to "harvest" the semen necessary to ensure their survival. But when their one-night stands start to develop strange side effects, the FBI is called in to investigate, and now Dr. Stone is doing everything she can to keep anyone from discovering her secret friends. Teknolust had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, where it was acclaimed as "the hippest cyber-fi movie ever!" It subsequently appeared in the world's most prestigious festivals, including the Berlin Int'l Film Festival, Toronto Int'l Film Festival, Hamptons Film Festival, San Francisco Int'l Film Festival, and Melbourne Int'l Film Festival to name a few. Cinemavault Releasing is handling worldwide distribution for the film and sales have already been made to key distributors including ThinkFilm (United States), ZDF (Germany), Cine Video (Mexico), 20th Century (Australia), Noah Films (Israel), Cinema Novo (Portugal), Roscino (CIS), Videosonic (Greece), and Tsutaya (Thailand). Teknolust's MIFED screening date is Wed Nov 12 - 11:30am - Sala 3. Cinemavault Releasing also handles International Sales for Paul Cox's critically acclaimed Innocence, the Cannes Camera D'or winning film Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner, Buddhadeb Dasgupta's epic masterpiece, A Tale of a Naughty Girl, and the official Bolivian selection for the Foreign Oscar nomination race, Sexual Dependency by director Rodrigo Bellott.

Cinemavault Adds Three Canadian Films To MIFED Lineup
by Cinemavault Releasing 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

Tuesday, November 4, 2003 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: CINEMAVAULT ADDS THREE CANADIAN FILMS TO MIFED LINE-UP Cinemavault Releasing is pleased to announce that its 2003 MIFED screening line-up will include three outstanding new Canadian theatrical features. Rub & Tug, by acclaimed director Soo Lyu, is a sexy comedy released theatrically in North America by Think Film. Starring award-winning actor/director Don McKellar (eXistenZ, The Red Violin), Rub & Tug follows the story of Conrad, the new manager at a "full-service" massage parlor. He suspects his three female employees are having sex with customers and takes drastic measures to keep them under control. But the three girls, played by Kira Clavell (House of the Dead), Tara Spencer-Nairn (New Waterford Girl), and Lindy Booth (Wrong Turn, Dawn of the Dead 2004) conspire to make Conrad's life a living hell. World premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, Rub & Tug has already been sold to key distributors including Seville Pictures (Canada), Quality Films (Mexico), New World Pictures (Thailand), Videosonic (Greece), Tuck (Former Yugoslavia) and Noah Films (Israel). Sister Blue, by Vancouver director Doug Greenall is a dark psychological thriller that takes sibling rivalry to its extreme. Lanalee (Clare Lapinskie) thinks her disturbed sister is out of her life forever until Blue (Stacy Fair) turns up on the doorstep armed with terrifying secrets from the past. Lanalee is faced with a loathsome decision; invite Blue and her boyfriend along on her private weekend getaway with her fiancé, or face the secrets her sister threatens to reveal. Following Sister Blue's smash premiere at the Montreal World Film Festival, Cinemavault closed deals with Eagle Pictures (Italy), Quality Films (Mexico), New World Pictures (Thailand), Videosonic (Greece), Noah Films (Israel), Tuck (Former Yugoslavia), MusicBox (Middle East), Cinema (Ukraine), and TMN / Superstation (Canada). Touch & Go is a late-coming-of-age comedy from Gemini nominated director Scott Simpson. Hailed by Variety as "quirky and original", the film stars newcomer Jeff Douglas in this "breakout lead performance" as Darcy, a 28 year-old charmer with the life aspirations of a 15 year-old. When he discovers he may lose his two closest friends, his longtime roommate, and his job, Darcy realizes his perpetual adolescence is coming to an end. Fighting off adulthood tooth-and-nail, he is forced to finally take a chance and confront the truth about himself. Touch & Go will be available outside of Canada for the first time during MIFED, Nov 9-13.
