He Dreams of Giants
From the makers of Lost In La Mancha comes A Tale of Obsession… He Dreams of Giants A film by Keith Fulton and Lou Pepe RUNNING TIME: 84 minutes United Kingdom, 2019, DCP, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround, Aspect Ratio16:9 PRESS CONTACT: Cinetic Media Ryan Werner and Charlie Olsky 1 SYNOPSIS “Why does anyone create? It’s hard. Life is hard. Art is hard. Doing anything worthwhile is hard.” – Terry Gilliam From the team behind Lost in La Mancha and The Hamster Factor, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is the culmination of a trilogy of documentaries that have followed film director Terry Gilliam over a twenty-five-year period. Charting Gilliam’s final, beleaguered quest to adapt Don Quixote, this documentary is a potent study of creative obsession. For over thirty years, Terry Gilliam has dreamed of creating a screen adaptation of Cervantes’ masterpiece. When he first attempted the production in 2000, Gilliam already had the reputation of being a bit of a Quixote himself: a filmmaker whose stories of visionary dreamers raging against gigantic forces mirrored his own artistic battles with the Hollywood machine. The collapse of that infamous and ill-fated production – as documented in Lost in La Mancha – only further cemented Gilliam’s reputation as an idealist chasing an impossible dream. HE DREAMS OF GIANTS picks up Gilliam’s story seventeen years later as he finally mounts the production once again and struggles to finish it. Facing him are a host of new obstacles: budget constraints, a history of compromise and heightened expectations, all compounded by self-doubt, the toll of aging, and the nagging existential question: What is left for an artist when he completes the quest that has defined a large part of his career? 2 Combining immersive verité footage of Gilliam’s production with intimate interviews and archival footage from the director’s entire career, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is a revealing character study of a late-career artist, and a meditation on the value of creativity in the face of mortality.

The 18th edition of the Marrakech International Film Festival runs from 29 November to 7 December 2019 12 BIG NAMES FROM WORLD CINEMA IN CONVERSATION WITH MARRAKECH AUDIENCES Rabat, 14 November 2019. The “Conversation with” section is one of the highlights of the Marrakech International Film Festival and returns during the 18th edition for some fascinating exchanges with some of those who create the magic of cinema around the world. As its name suggests, “Conversation with” is a forum for free-flowing discussion with some of the great names in international filmmaking. These sessions are free and open to all: industry professionals, journalists, and the general public. During last year’s festival, the launch of this new section was a huge hit with Moroccan and internatiojnal film lovers. More than 3,000 people attended seven conversations with some legendary names of the big screen, offering some intense moments with artists, who generously shared their vision and their cinematic techniques and delivered some dazzling demonstrations and fascinating anecdotes to an audience of cinephiles. After the success of the previous edition, the Festival is recreating the experience and expanding from seven to 11 conversations at this year’s event. Once again, some of the biggest names in international filmmaking have confirmed their participation at this major FIFM event. They include US director, actor, producer, and all-around legend Robert Redford, along with Academy Award-winning French actor Marion Cotillard. Multi-award-winning Palestinian director Elia Suleiman will also be in attendance, along with independent British producer Jeremy Thomas (The Last Emperor, Only Lovers Left Alive) and celebrated US actor Harvey Keitel, star of some of the biggest hits in cinema history including Thelma and Louise, The Piano, and Pulp Fiction.

The Universal Quixote: Appropriations of a Literary Icon
THE UNIVERSAL QUIXOTE: APPROPRIATIONS OF A LITERARY ICON A Dissertation by MARK DAVID MCGRAW Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Eduardo Urbina Committee Members, Paul Christensen Juan Carlos Galdo Janet McCann Stephen Miller Head of Department, Steven Oberhelman August 2013 Major Subject: Hispanic Studies Copyright 2013 Mark David McGraw ABSTRACT First functioning as image based text and then as a widely illustrated book, the impact of the literary figure Don Quixote outgrew his textual limits to gain near- universal recognition as a cultural icon. Compared to the relatively small number of readers who have actually read both extensive volumes of Cervantes´ novel, an overwhelming percentage of people worldwide can identify an image of Don Quixote, especially if he is paired with his squire, Sancho Panza, and know something about the basic premise of the story. The problem that drives this paper is to determine how this Spanish 17th century literary character was able to gain near-univeral iconic recognizability. The methods used to research this phenomenon were to examine the character´s literary beginnings and iconization through translation and adaptation, film, textual and popular iconography, as well commercial, nationalist, revolutionary and institutional appropriations and determine what factors made him so useful for appropriation. The research concludes that the literary figure of Don Quixote has proven to be exceptionally receptive to readers´ appropriative requirements due to his paradoxical nature. The Quixote’s “cuerdo loco” or “wise fool” inherits paradoxy from Erasmus of Rotterdam’s In Praise of Folly.

L'académie Des César Rend Hommage À Jean-Pierre
COMMUNIQUÉ DE PRESSE Paris, le 25 avril 2019 L’ACADÉMIE DES CÉSAR REND HOMMAGE À JEAN-PIERRE MARIELLE Un monument du cinéma français vient de nous quitter. Cette carrure massive et ce franc-parler, au travers d’une voix chaude et grave, avaient fait de lui l’un des acteurs les plus populaires du cinéma français. Jean-Pierre Marielle était aussi et surtout un formidable interprète, qui incarnait ses rôles avec cet humour piquant et un certain cynisme qui lui étaient si propres. Jean-Pierre Marielle s’est retrouvé dès son plus Jeune âge parmi les futurs grands noms du cinéma, s’inscrivant lui-même au sein de cette incroyable génération : Jean-Paul Belmondo, Annie Girardot, Claude Rich, Françoise Fabian ou Jean Rochefort, font partie de ses camarades de classe au Conservatoire de Paris. Il se tourne tout d’abord vers le théâtre, avec un premier rôle dans une pièce de Molière, Le Mariage forcé, en 1953. Au cinéma, en 1964, il est aux côtés de Louis de Funès dans Faites sauter la banque de Jean Girault, et de Jean-Paul Belmondo dans Week-end à Zuydcoote d’Henri Verneuil. En 1969, il est auprès d’Yves Montand dans Le diable par la queue de Philippe de Broca. La décennie suivante le consacre comme un acteur incontournable des films populaires : Sex-shop de Claude Berri, La Valise de Georges Lautner, Comment réussir quand on est con et pleurnichard de Michel Audiard, Calmos de Bertrand Blier, Cause toujours… tu m’intéresses ! d’Edouard Molinaro, … Jean-Pierre Marielle ne cesse de tourner tandis que des rôles plus dramatiques s’offrent à lui, avec notamment Que la fête commence en 1975 et Coup de Torchon en 1981 de Bertrand Tavernier, Les Galettes de Pont-Aven de Joël Séria en 1975 pour lequel il est nommé pour le César du Meilleur Acteur lors de la toute première Cérémonie, Quelques jours avec moi de Claude Sautet en 1988, Uranus de Claude Berri ou encore l’inoubliable Tous les matins du monde réalisé par Alain Corneau en 1991, un rôle magnifique qui lui vaudra l’année suivante une nouvelle nomination pour le César du Meilleur Acteur.

Lost in La Mancha
LOST IN LA MANCHA Available: C urrent Video : N/A Country: USA Distributor: Odeon Films Directors: Keith Fulton, Louis Pepe Running T ime: 89 min Rating: ON - AA AB - 14A "Making a film is essentially about two things: belief and momentum." Terry Gilliam Terry Gilliam first dreamt of making a film based on Don Quixote soon after completing the wonderfully zany THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN. At that time, he was suffering from what he has called "PMS" (Post Munchausen Syndrome), the fallout from the notorious 1989 production that cemented his reputation as a uncontrollable filmmaker. The proposed film would be called THE MAN WHO KILLED DON QUIXOTE and would tell the story of an arrogant ad executive (Johnny Depp, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS) who mysteriously stumbles into seventeenth-century Spain and meets Don Quixote (Jean Rochefort, READY TO WEAR). After a decade of development, production began in October 2000 - it was a fiasco. Keith Fulton and Louis Pepe's fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary, LOST IN LA MANCHA, follows Gilliam's doomed dream project from the final stages of pre- production through the first days of actual filming. Conveying a sense of QUIXOTE'S potential, LOST IN LA MANCHA is also a catalogue of crises: NATO jets buzzing over a seventeenth- century set; absent and injured star actors; fragile financing involving companies in England, Spain, France and Germany; and, underscoring the biblical proportions of it all, on the third day it rained — heavily. Watching Gilliam struggle with the problems of making a "studio-type" film with a relatively modest budget of $32 million, LOST IN LA MANCHA also serves as a compelling study of the clash between Hollywood's star-driven mode of production and a European model that serves the director.

¿Un Don Quijote Aún Más Loco?: La Reconstrucción Del Personaje Cervantino En El Hombre Que Mató a Don Quijote De Terry Gilliam (2018)
Anagnórisis. Revista de investigación teatral, nº. 20, diciembre de 2019 Págs. 274-295, ISSN: 2013-6986 www.anagnorisis.es ¿Un don Quijote aún más loco?: la reconstrucción del personaje cervantino en El hombre que mató a don Quijote de Terry Gilliam (2018) Alberto Gutiérrez Gil Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha [email protected] Palabras clave: Terry Gilliam. Don Quijote. Adaptación cinematográfica. Realidad y ficción. Resumen: El hombre que mató a don Quijote (2018) es el faraónico y desdichado proyecto que ha sumido al gran Terry Gilliam en más de dos décadas de trabajo en torno a su personaje predilecto: don Quijote, la encarnación de la locura, el humor y la ironía (señas de identidad de su filmografía). A través del presente estudio nuestra intención es la de analizar de qué manera el actor y director británico ha reconstruido al más conocido personaje de ficción de la literatura española, centrándonos en dos polos complementarios: el trabajo de construcción del personaje fílmico a partir del personaje literario (teniendo en cuenta los principales episodios tomados de la novela cervantina y cómo son releídos en el largometraje) y la actualización o contemporaneización del hidalgo manchego, transfigurado en un enloquecido anciano que se cree don Quijote y que confunde a un ejecutivo publicitario con Sancho Panza. Un don Quichotte encore plus fou ? : La reconstruction du personnage de Cervantes dans L´homme qui tua don Quichotte de Terry Gilliam (2018) Mots-clés: Terry Gilliam. Don Quichotte. Adaptation cinématographique. Réalité et fiction. Résumé: L‘homme qui tua don Quichotte (2018) est le pharaonique et malheureux projet dans lequel le gran Terry Gilliam se plongea pendant deux décennies autour de son personnage préféré : don Quichotte, l‘incarnation de la folie, de l‘humour et de l‘ironie (signes d‘identité de sa filmographie).

La finalidad de esta conmemoración es promover y difundir dicho patrimonio, en cuya preservación la BNE desem- peña una labor fundamental. La efeméride ha contribuido a tomar conciencia de la importancia de esta fuente esencial de información que se conserva en soportes extremadamente frágiles y que el paso del tiempo hace muy vulnerable. En esta ocasión, la Jornada organizada en la sede de la BNE coincidió con el IV Centenario de la muerte de Miguel de Cervantes. Bajo el título La imagen de Cervantes y de su obra en los documentos sonoros y audiovisuales, consistió en dos mesas redondas a cargo de personal de la propia Biblioteca y de especia- listas e investigadores, que reflexionaron sobre la importancia de la conservación y difusión de los docu- mentos sonoros y audiovisuales centrándose en la figura y la obra del escritor.
