Simon Miraudo and Tristan Fidler from RTRFM’s ‘Movie Squad’ are joined by Chelsey O'Brien, Curator at ACMI, as they review and discuss Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland as a foundation for contemporary storytelling in film.
The duo join us at Boola Bardip to consider Alice's journey as a blueprint for text-to-film adaptations, as well as some of the most influential films of our time — like The Matrix and Spirited Away and other oddities such as Inner Space, Don't Worry Darling, and more!
