Movie lovers celebrate another Stella Summer Season at Rialto

Stella Artois is delighted to announce their continued sponsorship of the Summer Season at Rialto Cinemas nationwide starting 1 December 2004.

“There’s no doubt about the fact that Stella and cinema go hand in hand,” says Jeremy O’Brien, marketing manager for Stella Artois.

“Stella Artois is synonymous with premium films and we are proud to present the international screen to movie lovers at Rialto for another summer,” says Jeremy.

The Summer Season at Rialto Cinemas is part of Stella Artois’ international programme of supporting film, called Stella Artois Screen.

Film aficionados can discover all the latest film news and gossip through the Stella Artois Screen website, www.stellaartoisscreen.com, which links all the Stella Screen activities around the world.

The Stella Artois Summer Season at Rialto Cinemas is in its fourth year and will be featured in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

Films in the Stella Artois Summer Season at Rialto Cinemas include:

A Very Long Engagement

Five desperate men shoot themselves in order to escape from the horrifying frontline in World War One. As punishment, they are left to die in no man’s land, to be killed in cross-fire. One of these men’s fiancée suspects her man may have survived and embarks on a painful journey to discover the truth. Audrey Tautou (Amelie) stars in this moving love story set in France during World War One directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie).

Sideways Miles, a failed writer, takes his mate Jack, former actor, on a week long drive to the wine country in California where they explore the nature of their failures and question their relationships. Jack (about to get married) has an affair, while Miles (recently divorced) questions whether or not he made the right choice. This is a hilarious and moving look at relationships, directed by Alexander Payne (About Schmidt and Election). To get a full line-up of the films on offer, go to the Rialto website on http://www.rialto.co.nz
