IMAGINE OTHERWISE FILM SERIES: Alice in Wonderland (1981) & Tale of Tales (1979)

November 6th | 7 pm | 301 JRR These two short films both reflect the distinct and experimental animation practices at work in the late Soviet Union. Alice and Wonderland was produced by the Ukrainian animation and film studio Kyivnaukfilm, well known for its surreal and experimental approach to animation. While the character designs were influenced by Sir John Tenniel's original illustrations, the animation adds its own Soviet twist. Tale of Tales, on the other hand, takes the Soviet past itself as the material for self-mythologization, with a script from Lyudmila Petrushevskaia narrativizing Soviet history through the framework of the fairytale. --- Event Details: https://my.princeton.edu/rsvp?id=1967208
