A FILM BY VINCENZO NATALI
NON-THEATRICAL: AVAILABLE FOR TV, VOD & FILM FESTIVALS ONLY
On the set of his movie TIDELAND director Terry Gilliam explains to his child actress Jodelle Ferland the meaning of term "derivative" on the example of Roland Emmerich's films compared to the films by Steven Spielberg.
Acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Vincenzo Natali uses the production of Terry Gilliam’s TIDELAND as a framework to create a compelling portrait of the director as artist, provocateur, inventor and comedian.
DREAMLAND explores Gilliam’s methodology as a director, incorporating animation, clips from his previous films, and extensive interviews. During the production of TIDELAND, Gilliam provided Natali with a completely open and uncensored view of his daily life on and off the set. This in-depth exploration of Gilliam’s process is a unique chance to understand the incredible creative mind of one of film’s greatest auteurs.
