Bradford International Film Festival which runs from 16-27th March has announced that award winning film maker Terry Gilliam will receive the Fellowship Award and a retrospective tribute to his work at the 17th annual event. The Fellowship honours a practitioner who has made significant contributions to several areas of filmmaking. Terry Gilliam has definitely exceded this, bringing his unusual mind set to an array of films from Jabberwocky and Twelve Monkeys to Brazil and the widely loved Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Gilliam commented:

“To be honoured by such an important festival pre-posthumously will force my family to treat me with some respect while I’m still alive. I will always be grateful for that.”

As part of the retrospective programme of Gilliam’s work, Festival goers will be able to enjoy screenings of early shorts such as Storytime (1968) and The Miracle of Flight (1974) along with features including Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998) and Time Bandits (1981). Gilliam’s latest short film The wholly Family (2011) will also be showing.

Elsewhere at the festival will see the first ever UK retrospective of the German rising star Thomas Arslan including his latest film In The Shadows and Claire Bloom, star of television, film and theater will be receiving this years Lifetime Achievement Award.

Full programme details and guests for the 17th annual Bradford International Film Festival (BIFF) will be announced in the Cubby Broccoli Cinema at the National Media Museum on February 22nd 2011.

EXCLUSIVE! Terry Gilliam Tells Support Site About “Wholly Family” New Short Film

December 29, 2010 Posted by Administrator

EXCLUSIVE!
By Theresa Shell

Like many of you I had heard the rumors of Terry Gilliam making a new short film in Naples so, I contacted him and asked him if this was true and if it was, did he have anything to share with The Man Who Killed Don Quixote Support Site about the film. I just heard back from him and he tells me

“I am indeed doing a little film in Naples. It is being paid for by the Garofalo Pasta company. They’ve been sponsoring short films about Naples every year for the last four. I wrote the script as an exercise. It’s called The Wholly Family.”

Gilliam went on to tell me that the film is based on his script, not on the Eve Merriam poem as some may have thought. He continued to say,

“Nicola [Pecorini] is behind the camera once again as well as Gabriella Pscucci stitching the costumes.”

Filming in beautiful Naples definitely has it’s perks. Gilliam has found

“…the food is fantastic!”

EXCLUSIVE: Terry Gilliam Confirms To Us That He Will Head Composite Fantasy 1884!

December 18, 2010 Posted by Administrator

I am so excited to share with you that this morning Terry Gilliam confirmed to the Man Who Killed Don Quixote Support Site that he will be heading up the retro sci-fi fantasy 1884! We are SO excited about this.

Terry’s brilliant, fantastic animation has been loved by audiences for decades.

The Film Stage reports that “the Monty Python animator will head “a retro sci-fi fantasy” set in a steam punk world. The film will feature live-action puppets with CGI heads and the actors’ eyes/mouths. The story is about a bumbling secret agent charged with stopping an imperalist’s plans for world domination with his steam-powered war machine. Some of Gilliam’s fellow Pythons will loan their voices to the characters, but they remain unnamed at the moment.”

At the press conference on Sunday, hosted by Daniela Michel, Director of the FICM, the media questioned the Festival’s featured Director, Terry Gilliam was asked about his plans for the next project which he is currently in the process of filming, The Man who Killed Don Quixote. After speaking of his personal enchantment with Cervantes’ character, he claimed: “All men are chasing after windmills.”

I love the spirit of Mexico; especially the Day of the Dead…” He added that he is, “blown away by the architecture.” When he further speculated that he is considering filming his next film, The Man who Killed Don Quixote, in Mexico, he surprised –and delighted- his audience, who were hearing this news for the first time.
