The 2011 Cambridge Film Festival is now over, come back soon for details of next year's festival

Forty years after it was originally broadcast, some of Britain’s most successful comedians pay tribute to Monty Python. This most recent retrospective offers a blend of well-known anecdotes and sketches with fresh new insights – did you know that Elvis was a big HOLY GRAIL fan, or that Pasolini was a great influence on the directors Jones and Gilliam? The documentary features clips of the TV shows and comedians that inspired the revolutionary comedy group. Interviews with the surviving Pythons examine the origins and legacy of Python interspersed with archive footage of the late Graham Chapman.

"This is the documentary I always hoped would be made - something so complete and so faithful to the truth that I don’t need to watch it.: TERRY JONES

We are delighted to welcome former Python Terry Jones to the screening!
