The programme includes the very first Alice in Wonderland film adaptation dating from 1903, next to the well-known Disney animation of 1951 as well as Tim Burton’s 3D reinterpretation of the Disney film, made in 2010 … on behalf of the same Disney company
The programme also includes films by directors who were directly or indirectly inspired by the story of a little girl that crawls into a rabbit hole and finds herself in a world where animals can speak and a riddle best remains a riddle.
Talking with fantasy creatures and being able to move in an alien world without any effort: Terry Gilliam, Lana and Lilly Wachowski, and Roman Polanski they all found Carroll’s ‘fall into the rabbit hole’ irresistible as well.
