Jabberwocky + Intro by Director Terry Gilliam
When? 20:40, Tuesday 17th September How much? From £6.00 Where? Southbank
What is it?
Terry Gilliam (yes, he of Monty Python fame) started his directorial career with the little-seen comic caper that is Jabberwocky. Showing at the BFI, it also stars Michael Palin with a terrible haircut.
Sounds interesting! What else?
Gilliam will appear in the flesh to introduce the film. Given Jabberwocky's reputation as something of a curio and Gilliam's reputation as both funny and outspoken, expect this to be a good laugh. Click here for tickets and more info.
Internal Affairs + Q&A with Director Mike Figgis
When? 18:30, Wednesday 18th September How much? From £11.00 Where? South Kensington
What is it?
The very 90s but very good cop flick Internal Affairs, directed by Mike Figgis, and starring Andy Garcia as a cop who suspects another cop – played by Richard Gere – of corruption.
Sounds interesting! What else?
Director Mike Figgis will attend this screening for a Q&A session, which will be chaired by film critic and broadcaster Jason Solomans. Figgis also directed Nicolas Cage to Oscar glory in Leaving Las Vegas – now's your chance to ask him about it. Click here for tickets and more info.
