Terry Gilliam: Honoured As An Eccentric Of Cinema At Istanbul Film Festival

The 25th Istanbul Film Festival runs from April 1st until 16th this year. While honouring Terry Gilliam as an "eccentric of the cinema", they will be screening Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Time Bandits, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Tideland. Got cash, a passport and an understanding boss? Good - now get thee to Istanbul.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, and it's (politically incorrect?) Turkish misadventures, is conspicuous in its absence.
