my Top Ten By Year Zine: 1930 is now on sale!
i am not expecting any traction here but i figured what the hell! i have spent the last many months working on this 20-page zine dedicated to a year from one of film history's most fascinating micro-eras (Sound Gets Situated). having ten films to write about is both a jumping off-point and culmination but it's about so much more than that. it's about traversing through a year in film to the best of my ability, picking up memories and observations along the way.
this zine features original collage work on every page, an essay, memories across over 50 films from 1930, and writing on 10 films of my choosing (people on sunday, city girl, king of jazz, madam satan, "dance of the hands", the big house, au bonheur des dames, ladies of leisure, laughter, and liliom). this is a labor of love for anyone who loves or appreciates film.

On July 4 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (pen name Lewis Carroll) took the three Liddell sisters, Lorina, Alice and Edith, on a boat ride along the River Thames. On the bank at Godstow he told the story of Alice’s Adventures Underground (later renamed Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) for the first time.
161 years later this book, and its sequel Through The Looking Glass, and What Alice Found There, have had an indelible mark on our culture. A classic of children’s literature, it has never gone out of print. It has been translated into 174 languages, adapted into dozens of films (the first of which was made in 1903) and inspired countless works of art. Its nonsensical whimsy and celebration of childhood is beloved by children and adults everywhere.
Out of any story I’ve read, Alice has had the most profound impact on me. I am forever grateful to the man who told it and then wrote it down, the man who captured its magic with his illustrations, and - above all- the little girl who inspired it.
“Thus grew the tale of Wonderland: thus slowly, one by one, its quaint events were hammered out and now the tale is done, and home we steer, a merry crew, beneath the setting sun. Alice! A childish story take, and, with a gentle hand, lay it where Childhood’s dreams are twined in Memory’s mystic band. Like pilgrim’s wither’d wreath of flowers pluck’d in far off land.” - All in the Golden Afternoon, Lewis Carroll

Day 29: What’s one thing you want people who are unfamiliar with Alice to know?
It's not just for kids and it's not about drugs or mental illness.
Also Charles Lutwidge Dodgson aka Lewis Carroll is NOT a goddamn pedophile no matter what people tell you.

‘Dream Child’, ''Starburst'', #81, 1985
Source
The sequence involving the caterpillar can be seen here if you’re curious.
“A fictionalized account of Alice Liddell, the child who inspired Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The story is told from the point of view of the elderly Alice as she travels to the US to receive an honorary degree from Columbia University on the centenary of Lewis Carroll's birth.”
From the film’s wiki, “The film evolves from the factual to the hallucinatory as Alice revisits her memories of the Reverend Charles Dodgson, in Victorian-era Oxford to her immediate present in Depression-era New York. Accompanied by a shy young orphan named Lucy, old Alice must make her way through the modern world of tabloid journalism and commercial exploitation while attempting to come to peace with her conflicted childhood with the Oxford don.”
If you’ve never seen this film, give the whole thing a go, it’s a forgotten gem. Here’s film critic Roger Ebert’s review of the film from 1986 to peruse if you needed further convincing.
