          INTELEFILM CORPORATION RECEIVES DELISTING NOTICE FROM NASDAQ
                                AND PLANS APPEAL

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - May 1, 2001 - iNTELEFILM CORPORATION (NASDAQ:FILM) announced
today that it has received notice from Nasdaq that its shares will be delisted
from the Nasdaq National Market at the opening of business on May 8, 2001, due
to non-compliance with the minimum net tangible worth requirement. However,
iNTELEFILM has requested an oral hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualification
Panel to contest the delisting of its shares from the Nasdaq Market. This
hearing request stays the delisting pending the panel's decision.

If iNTELEFILM shares do not continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market,
trading, if any, would be conducted in the over-the-counter market in the
so-called "pink sheets" or on the OTC Bulletin Board, which was established for
securities that do not meet the Nasdaq Stock Market listing requirements.
Consequently, selling iNTELEFILM shares would be more difficult because smaller
quantities of shares could be bought and sold, transactions could be delayed,
and security analyst and news media coverage of iNTELEFILM may be reduced. These
factors could result in lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask
prices for iNTELEFILM shares. There can be no assurance that iNTELEFILM shares
will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
