A Vibrant Selection Of International Movie And Musical Treats
The New Zealand Film Festival Trust is pleased to announce the fifth annual World Cinema Showcase. Like a miniature
version of the main event, the Showcase celebrates a marvelous diversity of distinctive and individual filmmaking that
might never otherwise receive the attention it so richly deserves.
We are delighted to have been chosen as the venue for the New Zealand premiere screenings of Confessions of a Dangerous
Mind - George Clooney's directorial debut - which opens the Showcase. Scripted by Charlie Kaufman and starring Sam
Rockwell, Drew Barrymore and George Clooney.
Our selection encompasses timely New Zealand premieres of several major international festival hits - alongside welcome
reprises of more unreleased gems from our own International Film Festivals. We've secured four very different Italian
films from the organisers of Australia's Italian Film Festival. There are new prints of several Hollywood classics, and
as you might expect, a line-up of engrossing feature-length documentaries.
Our 2003 lineup is outlined briefly on the following page.
If you would like any further information of the World Cinema Showcase, or would like any publicity materials on any of
the titles, please contact me on:
