Terry Gilliam

Over the course of his career, Terry Gilliam has come to be known as one of today’s most visually innovative directors. From his early days with “Monty Python’s Flying Circus,” where his cut-out animations gave the show a uniquely whimsical appeal, to the cult masterpiece Brazil, Gilliam has proven that in the right hands, darkly intelligent films can also be massively entertaining. More recently, Gilliam has appeared in Louis Pepe and Keith Fulton’s documentary Lost in La Mancha and directed The Brothers Grimm, starring Heath Ledger and Matt Damon. His newest film, Tideland, will be released on October 13.

Tideland, described by Gilliam as “‘Alice in Wonderland’ meets Psycho,” will screen at New York’s IFC Center for a one-week exclusive engagement. As a precursor to the event, IFC Center will present “Movie Night with Terry Gilliam” on Wednesday October 4 at 7:00pm, with the legendary moviemaker and “Monty Python” alum in-person to present a special surprise screening of one of his favorite films. After the screening, Gilliam will discuss his work and the movies that have influenced him in a Q&A session with the audience.
