Long time supporters of the British Silent Film Festival will remember Professor Andrew Higson’s inspiring presentation on Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow’s 1903 Alice in Wonderland. Way back then we thought we were doing well to get 100 people in all the world interested in this stuff – now, nicely restored with original tints and a bit of judicious timing to coincide with the Disney release of Tim Burton’s film our little silent Alice has gone viral – 442,569 hits on youtube today and counting – Spectacular!
