Terry also sent a picture of the cover of the book that will be premiering on his work at the festival. It’s an amazing cover!
Congrats to Terry from all of us at the Man Who Killed Don Quixote Support Site. Can’t wait to get our hands on this book!

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.

BRUSSELS — Annette Bening, Terry Gilliam and Gregg Araki will be guests of honor at the Deauville American Film Festival, which unspools Sept. 3-12.
All three will have retrospectives at the fest, with Bening and Araki presenting new work in advance of general release in Gaul.
Bening has “Mother and Child” in competition plus “The Kids Are All Right” as a preview. Helmer Araki will introduce “Kaboom.”
Scribe Joyce Carol Oates will also guest in Deauville, collecting fest’s literary award for “Blonde.” Originally published in 2000, her book about Marilyn Monroe has a new edition out in Gaul.
Announcing further program details Monday, fest claimed a world premiere for John Madden’s “The Debt,” also slated to play at Toronto in September.
Thriller stars Sam Worthington, Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain as former Israeli agents haunted by a 1965 mission to capture a Nazi war criminal.
Other previews include Woody Allen’s “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger,” Joel Schumacher’s “Twelve” and the locally dubbed version of “Despicable Me.”
Indie fare getting exposure at the fest without a Sundance stamp of approval includes Richard Levine’s “Every Day” with Liev Schreiber and Helen Hunt, and Keith Bearden’s “Meet Monica Velour” with Kim Cattrall.
Fest’s factual program, Uncle Sam’s Docs, has an introspective feel, with Leon Gast’s “Smash His Camera” and Adrian Grenier’s “Teenage Paparazzo” both lifting the lid on the celebrity press.
Meanwhile, Elijah Drenner explores U.S. exploitation pics in “American Grindhouse” and Don Hahn looks at Disney’s revival in “Waking Sleeping Beauty.”
