For the Art Aficionado: Hosted by John Cleese
Actor and comedic legend JOHN CLEESE will share his famous deadpan wit when he hosts a festival of his finest accomplishments in film and television, showcasing such comedy classics as A Fish Called Wanda and The Life of Brian, as well as Die Another Day, the first James Bond movie featuring Cleese in the role of "Q." But the comedy Fierce Creatures, and the documentary In the Wild: Lemurs with John Cleese, are sure to stand out as two of the most enlightening films presented. Cleese, an animal advocate who has a species of lemur named after him, considers these works to be among his most significant achievements as they shed light on the plight of lemurs facing extinction in Madagascar. Cleese will share insights and anecdotes from a fascinating career that goes well beyond his cinematic works. Renowned for his TV roles in Monty Python's Flying Circus and Fawlty Towers, the multi-talented British actor has also co-authored two best-selling books on psychology, taught at Cornell University, and most recently was the voice of God in the Broadway smash hit Spamalot.
