The British Film Institute has released this restoration of the very first Alice in Wonderland film from 1903. Shot on 35mm, it was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow.

If your going to watch one version of Alice then make sure this is it! It’s silent and only 9 minutes long – all of which contribute to making it fab!
