Photocollage: The films of Through the Looking Glass (EyeMuseum, Amsterdam, 2019)

I should have really done this when it was still running but here's a photomontage collage of all the Alice inspired films that were shown at FilmEyeMuseum's Through the Looking Glass film festival last year.




Similarly to ACMI's Alice is Everywhere festival from 2018, this festival's inspired by Carroll films are almost exclusively aimed at adults, showing the inspiration to mature works that carroll's books have.

EyeFilm Museum's choices were fascinatingly provocative, and not at all "standard" for this kind of film festival. 

The films were:
  • The Wizard of Oz (1939)
  • Che (1972)  *aside: I have problems with this being included. More on this when the time comes*
  • Wild at Heart (1990)
  • The Matrix (1999)
  • Tideland (2006)

As always I aim to cover these in future July "Down the rabbit hole project" essays!
