IMMEDIATE RELEASE

World Premier of "Something About AJ" [PG]

Sydney, 11 October 2002:-  Todd Corporation and Iconoclast Productions are 
pleased to announce that the World Premier of the controversial Australian 
[PG] feature film "Something About AJ" will be held on 27 October 2002 at 
the Auburn Town Hall, in Auburn Sydney.

FREE tickets are available to the public to help celebrate this special 
event.  Sponsored by Todd Corporation, Sound on Stage and Auburn Council 
the screening follows the controversial withdraw of support by Auburn 
Council from the Auburn International Film Festival on 24 September during 
the screening of "Something About AJ" [PG] over a classification exemption 
misunderstanding.

"What happened is past," says Adam Todd the Producer and Director of the 
film that tells a true story about the NSW Police and Department of 
Community Services who raid an Australian family in 1998.

The most controversial part of the 120 minute feature film is the 8 minutes 
of real video recorded in 1998 when NSW Police and the Department of 
Community Services raided the home and literally tore a 5 month old baby 
boy from his mothers arms.

"Council has shown tremendous support by agreeing to provide their venue 
for the screening which we've now decided is our World Premier!" explained 
an excited Todd.

"Thanks to support from Sound on Stage who are assisting with a Projector 
and Sound system, we decided to offer tickets FREE to the public!  Limited 
seating means competition for seats will be fast so we encourage people to 
call and book quickly," says Todd.

Doors open at 6:30 PM on 27 October at the Auburn Civic Centre but seat 
reservations are essential. Call 1300 73 FILM.  Updated details can be
