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).
