                          ("Intandem" or the "Company") 
  Intandem sells Australian box office hit 'Beneath Hill 60' to UK distributor, 
                                    Momentum 
Intandem Films Plc, the London based international film group, is pleased to 
announce that it has sold Australian box office hit, Beneath Hill 60, to leading 
UK distributor, Momentum Pictures, part of Canadian media group Alliance 
Atlantis. 
Beneath Hill 60- released in Australia by Paramount Pictures on 15 April 2010 - 
has been hugely successful during its first two weeks at the box office, 
grossing AUD $1.7 million to date. The Film was also the only top ten entry to 
increase box office takings over the Anzac Day (25 April) long weekend - the 
Australian and New Zealand national day of remembrance. Beneath Hill 60s box 
office increased by 42% while the other Top Ten movies dropped by percentages 
ranging from 14% to 39%. 
The Film, directed by Jeremy Hartley Sims and starring Brendan Cowell, tells the 
story of what became known as one of the most successful campaigns of The Great 
War. 
This true story follows a small platoon of Australian miners - all untrained 
soldiers - as they prepare to ignite the largest amount of explosives ever 
collected in one place under German lines in an attempt to end the War. 
Intandem acquired the worldwide sales rights to Beneath Hill 60 in May 2009 and 
is delighted to have sold the UK distribution rights to Momentum. As well as 
successfully selling the UK distribution rights, Intandem is pleased to announce 
that Beneath Hill 60 will have its World Premiere Market Screenings at this 
year's Cannes Film Festival on the 15th and 16th May. 
Screen International said: 
"This strongly acted, earnest Australian story...has definitive International 
Potential!" 
Commenting on the success of the Film in Australia, Paramount Pictures Australia 
Managing Director Mike Selwyn said: 
 
"We are delighted at the way that Beneath Hill 60 seems to be reaching out to 
all the different audiences across Australia. The film really seems to have 
something for everyone and is playing equally well in arthouses, country and 
provincial locations and big multiplexes and we are very hopeful that this 
beautifully made Australian film can carry on for a long time." 
 
Commenting on the sale and the success of the Film, Intandem's Chief Executive 
Officer, Gary Smith said: 
"The UK Market is one of the hardest to crack for any movie and we are delighted 
that a company of the calibre and experience of Momentum has seen the potential 
of Beneath Hill 60.  We are excited to be working with them to maximise its 
revenues in the UK market. 
"Beneath Hill 60 will also be screening in Cannes on 15th and 16th May and 
coupled with a successful release in Australia and the UK giving its stamp of 
approval, we're hoping to generate further sales from the rest of the world."

About Beneath Hill 60

surface, a deadly game of cat-and-mouse is played out thirty metres below the 
trenches as a small platoon of Australian tunnellers - all untrained soldiers - 
prepare to ignite the largest amount of explosive ever collected in one place 
under German lines to try and end the War.  It became known as one of the most 
successful campaigns of the whole conflict.
