	The film "Family Viewing" which won Best Canadian Film at this year's
Toronto Film Festival has a scene with an A1000 in it.  The scene begins with
a close-up of the monitor (which is switched off) and zooms out to an office
where the rest of the gear is visible.  The character did "use" it in the film
but there were no screen shots, only security camera-grade surveillance footage
which I believe we were supposed to think was coming from the computer.  Is 
this the first appearance of an Amiga in a theatrically-shown film?  It's not
in commercial release, but I'm sure it will be; it's been invited to another
film festival (the film that is, not the Amiga).
