I just saw this over on the greenormal blog, it’s got a USA theme but makes sense no matter where you live.

Alice in Wonderland

tim posted this 4th March 2010 3:09pm

I’m a big fan of Lewis Carroll so i was pleased as punch to hear the BFI have released the 1903 film version. Here’s the lowdown.

The first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll’s tale has recently been restored by the BFI National Archive from severely damaged materials. Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel’s original illustrations. In an act that was to echo more than 100 years later, Hepworth cast his wife as the Red Queen, and he himself appears as the Frog Footman. Even the Cheshire cat is played by a family pet.

With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), ‘Alice in Wonderland’ was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film’s original colours for the first time in over 100 years.

Music: ‘Jill in the Box’, composed and performed by Wendy Hiscocks.

Ruben just reminded me of this, a moment that i would hope would not be lost on anyone who has set themsleves a task that has an element of chaos tacked in for good measure. This wasn’t for the win either, it was just to finish.
