Alice?

The BFI (British Film Institute) have just released an amazing piece of history that i've totally fallen in love with! It one of the best things i've seen in a long time and it's absolutely wonderful!

The very first Alice In Wonderland film, shot in 1903, restored to its former glory. It was shot on 35mm film and was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow.
The film is more than 100 years old and very damaged but i think this just adds to the beauty of it! It's a silent film and it's only 9 minutes long so please, if you have a spare moment, definitely give this a watch. You won't regret it!

I love the sepia, black&white, weather marks, flimholes, scratches, burns, grain. Its just magical!
