Jinnah Screening Sun, May 19, 8:00 pm Riviera 6
by Jane ALBRECHT 18 May '02

18 May '02

A special screening of Jinnah, starring world-renowned actor Christopher Lee, is being held on May 19, at 8:00 p.m., in Riviera 6. Lee, also currently starring in Star Wars 2 and Lord of the Rings, takes the lead in this timely film about the controversial, violent partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. The film is all the more timely in light of this past year's events. Hauntingly, Jinnah died on Sept. 11, 1948. Jinnah was to Pakistan what Ghandi was to India, and Lee's portrayal of Jinnah is on par with Ben Kingsley's portrayal of Ghandi in David Lean's film. Lee considers it the most important role of his career. Contact: Jane Albrecht, (00) (32 477) 321 592.

CANNES MARKET SCREENINGS

Hello: I'm contacting you on behalf of Distinct Features - a production company based in Canada. I would like to let you know about the screening dates and times for the feature films "A Taste of Jupiter" and "Punch and Judy" at the Cannes Market Screenings. We'd love to see you at our screenings! Please see attached synopses of our films and a Distinct Features bio. "A Taste of Jupiter" May 16 at 9:30 am Riviera 5 "Punch and Judy" May 23rd at 2 pm Riviera 4 I'll be attending the Cannes Film Festival along with Derek Diorio, President of Distinct. As a backgrounder - Distinct Features has produced four feature films since we set up shop in 1999. Our first feature "House of Luk" screened at the 2000 Montreal World Film Festival and the 2001 Palm Springs International Film Festival and was warmly received at both festivals. We were the first film to sell out at Palm Springs last year. Daily Variety gave us a favorable review in their Palm Springs wrap-up stating that "House of Luk" was "well-executed and emotionally effective". Since Distinct Features began we¹ve been very busy - and quickly evolving into one of the busiest and most dynamic production companies in Canada. In 2000, we shot three back to back features. Our films showcase notable talent including Pat Morita, Eli Wallach, Teri Garr, Ernest Borgnine, Michael Moriarty and Graham Greene. We've developed a unique "micro-studio" system whereby we shoot very economical films - that look like bigger budgets. We have our own AVID suites including a Symphony but more importantly we have excellent editors, director, writer etc.. We are looking for partners for other projects that we're developing. At present - we have secured development funding from Telefilm Canada. If you'd like to get in touch with us at Cannes our coordinates are as follows: Palais Rouaze 16, rue Rouaze ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- My mobile # in Cannes will be: 06 75 80 16 10 We're also reachable at the Canada Pavilion.
