Featuring Carrollian movie moments – mad, magical, timeless and tragical! – from Cecil Hepworth’s first-ever film of Alice in Wonderland (1903) via Walt Disney and Hanna-Barbera to Jan Svankmajer and Tim Burton.

Alice in WonderlandAfter an interval, Brian will introduce a screening of Jonathan Miller’s iconoclastic 1966 BBC TV adaptation of Alice in Wonderland with an all-star cast including Peter Sellers, John Gielgud, Michael Redgrave, Peter Cook, Michael Gough, Leo McKern, Wilfred Brambell, Alan Bennett and Malcolm Muggeridge, with music by Ravi Shankar.
