FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    ACCESS INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGIES AND CHRISTIE DIGITAL SYSTEMS SIGN GROUND-
   BREAKING AGREEMENT FOR DIGITAL CINEMA ROLLOUT PLAN TARGETING 2,500 SCREENS
                                WITHIN TWO YEARS

NEWLY CREATED FUNDING  VEHICLE,  A DIGITAL CINEMA INDUSTRY  MILESTONE,  FEATURES
MINIMAL COST TO EXHIBITORS

MORRISTOWN,  NJ, AND CYPRESS,  CA, JUNE 21, 2005 -- In a major move  designed to
accelerate the long-awaited implementation of Digital Cinema nation-wide, ACCESS
INTEGRATED  TECHNOLOGIES,  INC.  ("ACCESSIT")  (AMEX:  AIX) AND CHRISTIE DIGITAL
SYSTEMS,  USA  (CHRISTIE)  today jointly  announced a  preliminary  agreement to
create the movie  industry's first practical  Digital Cinema funding  framework.
The plan  satisfies  the diverse  concerns of movie  studios and  exhibitors  by
standardizing content format, delivery and presentation.  It minimizes financial
risks for studios and  exhibitors by  establishing  an innovative  template that
allows  private  investment  in the  burgeoning  Digital  Cinema  industry.  The
agreement  includes a two-year plan for a  2,500-screen  rollout,  with over 200
screens to be operational by the end of 2005.

To facilitate the agreement, ACCESSIT has formed a subsidiary,  Christie/AIX, to
act as a funding  vehicle and  administrator.  Under the terms of the agreement,
the new entity will provide  funding for a turnkey  Digital Cinema solution that
includes the latest  generation 2K resolution  Digital Cinema projectors and all
related  hardware  systems.  ACCESSIT and  interested  third-party  lenders will
provide capital for the systems. Christie/AIX will serve as intermediary between
content owners - including major studios and independent distributors,  who will
pay  "virtual  print  fees"  - and  exhibitors,  who  will  be  responsible  for
installation costs,  software license fees, and a 10-year maintenance  contract,
with a cost structure  similar to  conventional  film  maintenance.  The company
anticipates  that when  implemented,  the  current  plan is  expected  to have a
material impact on ACCESSIT's future financial performance,  contributing to the
company's reported revenues, EBITDA, and cashflow over the next-ten year period.

Christie/AIX,  contracting  with Christie,  will provide  exhibitors with a full
range of  DCI-compliant  hardware and software  including  the  industry-leading
Christie  CP2000 DLP  Cinema(TM)  projectors,  media players and central  server
equipment.  This  includes  ACCESSIT's  vendor-agnostic  library/central  server
software  called Theatre  Command Center (TCC).  Christie will perform all field
installation and support services.  ACCESSIT will offer its digital delivery and
content   management   services,   under  commercial   terms,  to  customers  of
Christie/AIX  who utilize the company's fully managed,  satellite-based  content
delivery services.

The  Christie/AIX  plan will be in effect through 2018. Term sheets have already
been signed by key Hollywood  studios,  and substantive  agreements in principle
have  been  established  with  national  exhibitors  for  delivery  of a  large,
undisclosed  number  of  systems.  Funding  for the first  200  screens  will be
implemented  by  Christie/AIX   immediately   upon  the  signing  of  definitive
agreements with the studios that have signed term sheets.

"This landmark  agreement  represents the crucial and long-awaited first step to
make the  transition to Digital Cinema a practical  reality for both  exhibitors
and the film studios," said Bud Mayo,  President and Chief Executive  Officer of
ACCESSIT.  "Christie  and  ACCESSIT  have laid the  foundation  - not only for a
rollout  to  2,500  screens,  but  for  an  innovative,  flexible  template  and
real-world  solution  for  the  entire  industry  to  launch  a  Digital  Cinema
deployment to all 36,000 movie screens  throughout the United States and Canada,
using multiple vendor sources."

Jack Kline,  President/COO  of  Christie  USA,  added,  "ACCESSIT  continues  to
demonstrate  its  unique  understanding  of  both  the  business  and  technical
requirements  of  Digital  Cinema.  We share a unified  vision of the  future of
digital entertainment.  ACCESSIT's unique capabilities, combined with Christie's
market-leading  services  and  technologies,  as  well as our  understanding  of
exhibition  and long  history in the  industry,  make us the  natural  choice to
fulfill the long-anticipated  promise of Digital Cinema. It's a significant step
toward  helping to  revitalize  the  entertainment  experience  for  millions of
movie-goers in North America and around the world."
