MUMBAI: The Screening Room is a new half-hour monthly movie show,
premiering on Friday March 30 that offers a compelling international
perspective on the world of film; travelling around the globe to
bring viewers the inside track on all aspects of the movie business.
 Hosted
by British television presenter Myleene Klass, The Screening Room
features a mix of revealing insights, intelligent interviews and
on-location reporting from film festivals and red-carpet events.
From independent and world cinema to blockbusters and documentaries,
each month The Screening Room offers movie news, reviews and global
charts.
Each show explores the art of the world's most talented actors,
directors, composers and screenwriters. It will also travel to essential
film festivals: from L.A. to London, Tokyo to Tribeca, Sydney to
Sundance. Plus, The Screening Room covers in-depth features ranging
from animation, documentaries and short films to issues such as
the perils of piracy.
Rena Golden, Senior Vice President of CNN International, said:
“This is an important addition to our suite of feature shows,
which offers a compelling mix of programming. Every month The Screening
Room will go to Hollywood and beyond to bring the most compelling
and dynamic aspects of the film world to CNN’s vast international
audience. With our global reach, CNN is ideally placed to travel
the globe and cover stories from the movie business in every continent.”
Show host Myleene Klass said: “I’m overwhelmed to be
part of something so groundbreaking for CNN - the network’s
first movie show. CNN has kudos and gravitas all over world, and
that strong brand will ensure that I will get the very best interviews.
One thing is for sure, if I wasn’t part of The Screening Room,
I’d be glued to my seat watching it!”
The Screening Room is supported by a microsite, www.cnn.com/ thescreeningroom,
which launches on March 30, where users can download episodes of
the show, read Myleene’s monthly blog as well as movies reviews
