The legendary British comedian John Cleese arrived tonight in Sarajevo where on Wednesday he will be presented with the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award of the 23rd Sarajevo Film Festival, for outstanding contribution to film.

Following the award ceremony, the audience will have a chance to see the cult classic A FISH CALLED WANDA in the Open Air programme.

John Cleese is best known for his involvement in MONTY PYTHON’S FLYING CIRCUS, FAWLTY TOWERS, MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, MONTY PYTHON’S LIFE OF BRIAN, and A FISH CALLED WANDA.

In addition to his comedic activities, he was a co-founder with Sir Antony Jay of Video Arts, a management and sales training video company. Over a period of 20 years, Video Arts made over 120 training videos, and it was the largest firm of its kind outside the United States.

John Cleese was also a co-author, with the eminent psychiatrist Dr. Robin Skynner of two books ‘Families And How To Survive Them’, and ’Life And How To Survive It’. These books, which explored psychology, psychiatry, and their application to the wider world, both became best sellers.

Currently he is Provost’s Professor at Cornell University.
