ZUMA Launches World's Greatest
Movie Pictures Collection
|
San Clemente, CA - January 8, 2004 - ZUMA
Press is proud to announce the online Movie Picture
Show; it's the Web's largest digital online movie-stills collection,
now available via ZUMApress.com.
Featuring 100,000+ images of every major film from the creation
of the first Edison movies at the turn of the century, through
the golden age of the 1930s, up to and including the latest
blockbusters. The collection is an invaluable source for picture
researchers, photo editors and publishers alike.
This movie-stills collection rounds off our extensive archive of entertainment coverage and celebrity candids, making ZUMA a one-stop shop for everything available on a particular actor or film.
"Each awards season we are inundated with research requests for movie stills," says Camilla Zenz, research manager at ZUMA. "We've dedicated significant resources to researching, scanning and adding tens of thousands of movie stills to ZUMApress.com archives. Editorial clients can now access what they need, be it current or historic," Zenz says.

Liberia Struggles with Scars of War
|
Les Stone's dispatch from the front lines in Liberia
Just months after the war ended in this country, there is ample evidence that people are trying to regain a sense of normality. Liberians now attend church, shop in the markets and try to pick up what's left of their jobs. The physical scars of the fighting are everywhere, from bullet-riddled walls and streets, to the children at play with plenty of guns still at their disposal.
The United Nations forces are in control of very little of the countryside, and even though Charles Taylor has left and there is a new president in his place, the situation is still precarious. In the countryside, whole families suffering from severe malnutrition are coming in to refugee camps where aid stations have been set up to feed and house them. They have been hiding from the fighting in the bush for many months.

The inset of Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker was shot on the TV show's set in New York and licensed through Keystone Pictures, a ZUMA Press company (©NYPP/Keystone Pictures).
The January 2004 issue of Bizarre published the POY-winning work of ZUMA's Les Stone. His reportage, Living in the Shadows of Cancer Alley, ran over five pages in the British magazine.
