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.

Dear Cannes Market Attender
ROOM 36 - Cannes Premiere Screenings.
We have pleasure in inviting you to attend the Cannes Market debut of our new
feature film, ROOM 36.
In the style of "BLOOD SIMPLE" and "BOUND", ROOM 36 is a moody, nihilistic
thriller. The twisting narrative tells of Helen Woods MP sent to a sleazy
hotel to
deliver classified information destined to bring down the British
Government...
...and, were it not for one simple twist-of-fate, no-one would be set-up,
framed,
crossed, double-crossed or killed...
ROOM 36 will screen at PALAIS K "Jean-Louis Bory" (level 4) on WEDNESDAY
22nd MAY at 17.30 and THURSDAY 23rd MAY at 15.30.
ALL RIGHTS ARE AVAILABLE
ROOM 36 is written and directed by Jim Groom, director of "REVENGE OF BILLY
THE KID", Europes's 14th biggest hit of 1992. The film stars a host of
British cult
actors including Brian Murphy ("THE DEVILS"), John Cater ("THE ADOMINABLE
DR PHIBES"), John Forbes-Robertson ("THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN
VAMPIRES"), Norman Mitchell ("BARRY LYNDON") and Paul Herzberg ("ROALD
DAHL'S TALES OF THE UNEXPECTED").
For further information you may visit our website address: www.room36.net
which will be online on Friday 10th May 2002.

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:

16, rue Rouaze
