“It’s experimental, unusual, a little mad, and definitely not an Alice adaptation to show the kids. Unless you want to give them nightmares for weeks.” – Joe’s Horror ReviewsThe dark heart of Alice in Wonderland was never more faithfully captured than by stop-motion maestro Jan Švankmajer, who rendered its well-worn imagery into a startling new vision. By animating an array of found items—including raw meat, taxidermy, porcelain dolls, and playing cards—Švankmajer crafted a Wonderland all his own, a haunting realm of fantastic sights and disturbing juxtapositions. Hailed as a landmark of modern animation, Alice blends the imagination of Lewis Carroll with the grotesquerie of Joel-Peter Witkin to produce an experience like no other. A truly singular work of art, it offers a glimpse into another world, one of joyful terrors that cavort amidst death and decay.
Arrive early for a preshow of spooky stop-motion from around the world, starting at 6pm.
