However, he lived in Czechoslovakia only until 1939, when his family moved to Singapore. Stoppard, his mother, and his older brother were evacuated to India shortly before the Japanese invasion of Singapore in 1941; his father, Eugene Straussler, remained behind and was killed. In 1946, Stoppard's mother, Martha, married British army officer Kenneth Stoppard and the family moved to England, eventually settling in Bristol. Stoppard left school at the age of seventeen and began working as a journalist, first with the Western Daily Press (1954-58) and then with the Bristol Evening World (1958-60).

  • MONTY PYTHON at 50 , a Month-Long Season Celebra
    Tuesday 16 July 2019, London. The BFI today announces full details of IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50, a month-long season celebrating Monty Python – their roots, influences and subsequent work both as a group, and as individuals. The season, which takes place from 1 September – 1 October at BFI Southbank, forms part of the 50th anniversary celebrations of the beloved comedy group, whose seminal series Monty Python’s Flying Circus first aired on 5th October 1969. The season will include all the Monty Python feature films; oddities and unseen curios from the depths of the BFI National Archive and from Michael Palin’s personal collection of super 8mm films; back-to-back screenings of the entire series of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in a unique big-screen outing; and screenings of post-Python TV (Fawlty Towers, Out of the Trees, Ripping Yarns) and films (Jabberwocky, A Fish Called Wanda, Time Bandits, Wind in the Willows and more). There will also be rare screenings of pre-Python shows At Last the 1948 Show and Do Not Adjust Your Set, both of which will be released on BFI DVD on Monday 16 September, and a free exhibition of Python-related material from the BFI National Archive and The Monty Python Archive, and a Python takeover in the BFI Shop. Reflecting on the legacy and approaching celebrations, the Pythons commented: “Python has survived because we live in an increasingly Pythonesque world. Extreme silliness seems more relevant now than it ever was.” IT’S… MONTY PYTHON AT 50 programmers Justin Johnson and Dick Fiddy said: “We are delighted to share what is undoubtedly one of the most absurd seasons ever presented by the BFI, but even more delighted that it has been put together with help from the Pythons themselves and marked with their golden stamp of silliness.

I confirm that all work included in this thesis is my own unless indicated otherwise. The Imaginarium of Terry Gilliam Jake Crinion Dr. Barnaby F. Taylor rd 3 June 2015 2 Acknowledgments I would first like to thank my thesis supervisor Dr. Barnaby Taylor for his guidance and patience, as well as the freedom he provided our class to pursue self-directed projects in an encouraging environment. I would also like to thank the lecturers that have opened up educating and entertaining avenues in cinema and film production that have helped shape my college experience over the past three years. I want to further thank my family, for their constant support; my friends – new and old- for their timely help, motivation, ideas, and for keeping me from letting this thesis turn into the “Lost in La Mancha” of dissertations. And last, but not least, my class - I could not have asked for a better group of people to spend the past three years with. 3 Abstract Terry Gilliam’s career started out in animation but he always wanted to make films. He began directing films when he was part of the famous comedy group Monty Python. His first filmmaking experience was when co-directed Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Following this, he went on to direct by himself, making visually rich, thematically intelligent, and densely detailed films such as Time Bandits, Brazil, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

  • The Hollywood Novelization: Film As Literature Or Literature As Film Promotion?
    The Hollywood Novelization: Film as Literature or Literature as Film Promotion? Johannes Mahlknecht University of Innsbruck, American Studies Abstract Hollywood movie novelizations are novels based on mainstream films and published about the time these films are released in theaters. The present article explores the ambiguous status of this generally little- esteemed and frequently ignored form of adaptation. On the one hand, novelizations are works of literature that can be enjoyed without knowledge of the film they are based on; on the other, they can be (and often are) seen as mere tools of film advertising. This latter aspect becomes particularly evident when looking at the cover design of a novelization. It invariably features the film’s artwork (the poster image, stills, and/or typography used for promoting the film) and frequently highlights the film’s stars rather than the book’s author. By analyzing a selection of book covers of novelized versions of recent films and comparing the novelization of Terminator Salvation (Foster 2009b) with the film Terminator( Salvation 2009, dir. McG) it is based on, the article traces and exam- ines the frictions between the opposing forces—literature and film marketing—that define the genre. This article was written as part of the research project Framing Media: The Periphery of Fic- tion and Film at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and headed by Mario Klarer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Meir Sternberg and the anonymous referees of Poetics Today for their many priceless suggestions that helped improve this article.

  • Terry Gilliam Regis Dialogue with Stuart Klawans, 1998
    Terry Gilliam Regis Dialogue with Stuart Klawans, 1998 Bruce Jenkins: We welcome you to our Regis Dialogue, which closes an extraordinary retrospective of the work of the writer, director, performer, animator and Minnesota native, Terry Gilliam. Terry was two days ago on the Grand Canal in Venice celebrating his silver anniversary with his wife and family and is here tonight through with a little bit of help from our friends, the Regis Foundation, Northwest Airlines, and also his personal generosity to come and make a really remarkable visit to be here in New York and then back in London for the opening of Fear and Loathing on ​ Saturday night. Bruce Jenkins: This is not Terry Gilliam's first visit to the Walker. He reminded me that when he was 11 or 12 years old, he came for a Saturday drawing class here and was mightily impressed with the level of instruction. It was about 22 years ago that he had his next visit on this stage when he was invited after directing his first feature, Jabberwocky, his first solo ​ ​ feature, and he said that he came on to do a presentation with a very famous British photographer and was just two of them that night. The podium was here and he said he had come in before the show began hidden inside the podium so that when he was introduced, his hand went up, grabbed the mic, and the first 15 minutes he delivered his talk inside the podium. You notice there's no podium here tonight.
