It is hoped that through extensive clinical trials and scientific research, the centre will provide more ev i dence - based data to support the continuous de v e l opment of Chinese medicine for effective therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of a wide range of diseases. The target of the fund-raising exercise is HK$800,000. The film, Brotherhood of the Wolf, is a French production and the most expensively invested production in the history of French cinema. Inspired by actual events during the reign of King Louis XV, the movie revisits one of the rare French myths, that of the Beast of Gevaudan which killed a number of persons before being vanquished under mysterious circumstances. This highly entertaining action-adventure is visually stunning with its SFX sequences. The cast features five bright y oung stars: Samuel le Bihan, Vincent Cassel (Crimson River) , Mon i ca Bellucci (Malena), Jeremie Renier, and Emilie Dequenne (Best Actress, Cannes '99). The running time is two hours and 20 minutes. Tickets for the premiere are sold at HK$500 or $1 ， 000 to staff and students of the University. For tickets and enquires, please contact the A l umni Affairs Office (Tel:2609 7872/2609 7870; Fax: 2603 6226/2603 6979) or visit the website at http://www.alumni. cuhk.edu.hk/html/movie.html.
