So ACMI's massive retrospective on Carroll, Alice and culture opened in Singapore on Saturday on its first tour stop.
As I hoped, there is an extra attached:
Alice is everywhere film festival
Not what you might think.
This one is a bit complex: the 2018 Australian premiere also had a film festival with this title, but unfortunately the Singapore version does not have the depth of the 2018 ACMI fest.
Instead of showing films inspired by Carroll's books, Singapore's Alice is Everywhere offers up 3 versions of Alice. These are 1951, 1933 and 1966 BBC.
They are only on for three weeks starting now.
Whilst this is always extremely welcome, it feels a little weak in comparison with the original ACMI festival which had 10 + films, many rarities.
I have no idea why only 3 films are being shown. I also have no idea if this Alice is Everywhere will become the standard touring version..... I hope not.
