WILL PARADISE, MICHIGAN PLAY IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA?
American Independent Feature Film "Postmark Paradise" selected for screening at Moscow International Film Festival on January 19, 2001.
Entertainment Paradise Group, Inc., is pleased to announce that it's feature film "Postmark Paradise" has been accepted for screening at the 2001 Moscow "Faces of Love" International Film Festival. After screening at five American film festivals, this is the first European screening of this American film produced in Grand Rapids, Michigan and photographed in nearby Freeport, population 458.
Russian actress Natalia Nazarova stars with Tantoo Cardinal (Smoke Signals, The Education of Little Tree, Where the Rivers Flow North, and Dances With Wolves) in a heart warming story of a Russian mail order bride that is tricked into coming to America and discovers her own unique version of the American dream. The broad audience appeal of this heart-warming film and rave American press reviews prompted the Russian directors of this festival to extend a rare invitation to an American film to participate in their festival.
Michael Hughes, Entertainment Critic of the Garnett Entertainment News Service called "Postmark Paradise...the highlight of any festival. Superbly written and directed...Natalia is stunningly good... Tantoo matches her perfectly... This movie has charm, humor, and - most of all - truth."
"... a fine, well crafted film... heartwarming and surprisingly
Unpredictable... It plays beautifully... this film rang so true. If
American men knew that we'd meet someone like Viktoria (Natalia
Nazarova) if we answered one of those mail order bride ads, we'd be
Swiping all the Russian women."
Merle Bertrand, Film Critic, Film Threat Weekly
"...Postmark Paradise is sweet and thoughtful; Nazarova shines as a
Jilted immigrant bride, and Cardinal's tough-love, acerbic barmaid is
Dead on. Spend 92 minutes in Paradise, if you can."

While at the American festivals, "Postmark Paradise" received "Best Feature Film" awards at two festivals, most recently the 2000 Northampton Film Festival. At Northampton, "Postmark" was screened to an appreciative, capacity audience at the 1,100 seat Academy of Music.
Whether Russian audiences will appreciate the portrayal of this little Michigan town is soon to be determined. The screening will take place in the "House of Cinema" which is located in Moscow's downtown theatre district.
