Al is in Wonderland
Al is in Wonderland. Imogen Butler. UK. 2021. 26.5m. World Premiere. In English with English captions. F. D. Al is in Wonderland started pre-pandemic and moved to Zoom from March 2020. It was a long wait before the group could film (July 2021) but worth the wait! Performers were given freedom in the interpretation of their characters both in the drama and dance aspects, and this adds to the quirkiness of the finished film.

The Tempest. Helen Manners, Megan Fitter. UK. 2020. 40m. London Premiere. In English with English captions. F. D. A storm out at sea; an island of magic and spirits; a tale of romance and revenge.
