The World Film Festival Broadcast over the Internet by TELUS!
Montreal, August 6, 2002�TELUS is proud to announce its partnership in the 2002 World Film Festival. As a sponsor, TELUS will provide the bandwidth necessary to broadcast a feature film over the Internet site of the World Film Festival. This international premi�re will originate August 27 at 7:00 pm from the Mus�e d'Art Contemporain de Montr�al during a reception for the Montreal International Film Market.
The film that has been selected for viewing by Internet users is Home, by Montreal director Phyllis Katrapani. Produced by Jeannine Gagn� and Phyllis Katrapani, Home is a poetic and philosophical reflection on how the word home fits into the imagination.
