plan to bring the best of the French cinema into the Egyptian market for the first time, and introduce it on a wide, large and strong platform.

visitors and the population at large.
To achieve its goals, Good News Group Film & Music has signed up with the largest and most prominent French Production & Distribution Companies to release the best of French cinema in Egypt. These include: Studio Canal, Gamont, Pathe, TF1, Europa Corp,Celluloid-Dreams, MK2, Films Distribution, BAC, Rezo, Pyramide International, Haut & Court, Roissy Films. And more to come...!

2. Indian Films in Egypt – Starts February 2007:
Bollywood has an international appeal, and has always been a favorite to the Egyptian viewer for long decades. However, over the last few years a state of slowness and stagnation has been witnessed. In an attempt to mobilize the situation, Good News Group Film & Music has signed up with one of Bollywood’s most renowned distribution companies: “Eros Entertainment”, on an exclusive „sole-agent basis for the Egyptian market, to bring the best of India’s cinema industry back.
3. “Princess of the Sun” - World Premierefor the animated film
To be held in Egypt: March 12th, 2007
The story is written by “Christian Jacque” whose novels are an open invitation to a world of mysteries, adventures and exciting discoveries about Egypt. Despite him being the only French writer among the top 15 World Best-sellers, there has never been a film based on his books. So, “Princess of the Sun” is the first, bringing his formidable intrigues to screen, and bringing his amazing tales of Ancient Egypt to life… to animated-life... The film, created by an award-winning team, is an action and comedy animated film which is, in the meantime, respectful of the History.
Good News Group has taken the initiative of proposing that the movie be released worldwide from Egypt… the natural setting of the story featuring Tutankhamen, Akhenaton and Nefertiti….which it will…at the pyramids area.
Around 50 overseas visitors representing the distribution company, the producer, the film crew, the novelist and international press & media members will be coming to Egypt for the premiere which will be held on March 12th, 2007.
The Premiere night planned for the movie will be of a huge magnitude to match that of the event: From stage settings, décor and ambiance to invitees, including officials, diplomats, artists, VIPS, national, regional and international press & media representatives operating in Egypt. All meeting at a press conference, cocktail reception and the screening of the
World Premiere.
