Contest Feature

Win a Box Set of Films by Pedro Almodóvar (Penélope Cruz's Favorite Director)

Two more weeks to go in Pedro Almodóvar contest at FilmFresh.com.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWeb) March 2, 2007 -- Online film destination site Film Fresh (http://www.filmfresh.com) is giving away two boxed sets of VIVA PEDRO: The Almodóvar Collection. The contest closes March 17, 2007.

The Spanish-born director Pedro Almodóvar gained international prominence with the 1988 release of WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, and most recently, with his Oscar-nominated VOLVER, starring Penélope Cruz. In between, he's made countless important films with great actors and actresses like Gael Garcia Bernal, Antonio Banderas, Javier Bardem and Carmen Maura. He's won awards at the Venice, Toronto, Cannes and Berlin Film Festivals, along with an Oscar, BAFTA, César and Goya Awards.

This box set includes eight of his films: MATADOR and LAW OF DESIRE (first time on DVD for both), WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN and ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER (both newly remastered), and TALK TO HER, THE FLOWER OF MY SECRET, LIVE FLESH and BAD EDUCATION. Three featurettes about the director are also included, available only in this collection.

VIVA PEDRO retails for $117.95, but Film Fresh is giving away copies of this box set to two lucky Film Fresh members. It is easy to sign up for membership, and it is free. Enrolled members also receive Film Fresh's weekly email newsletter for free, along with other discounts and benefits.

To sign up for membership, and to enroll in the contest, interested parties can go to http://www.filmfresh.com/?almodovar .

NOTE: Winner must reside in the United States of America, and must not be a Film Fresh employee, relative or affiliate. Contest ends March 17, 2007.

About Film Fresh Inc.

We love films, particularly films from around the world -- so much that we started Film Fresh, a company devoted to global cinema. There are so many exceptional films made throughout the world, and so few opportunities to see them.

Sometimes, it's even tough to find out about such films. Great works of world cinema, including many smaller American films, get pushed away by the noise made by big studio films. But there IS an audience for these films, and -- based on the very fact that you are reading this -- you are part of that audience.

FilmFresh.com provides everything audiences need to make smart choices tailored to their interests and tastes. We collect great contemporary films from around the world and make them available to film lovers throughout North America at FilmFresh.com. On our Web site, viewers can discover new films, converse with interested viewers, and purchase films for home delivery.

To make it easy to see these films, we sell them in our online store at the lowest prices we can. If you compare our prices to any large film retailer, on or offline, you'll see what we mean. We've kept prices low so that you can experiment... so you can take some chances on films that sound interesting to you.

At present, we offer films in DVD format only from a variety of distributors. In the very near future, other forms of delivery will also be available, including Internet download. And we look forward to operating as a distributor ourselves, releasing innovative new international films under the Film Fresh name.
