Wonderland ” A True Story”, Wonderland from danaalmojil on Vimeo.
Wonderland, the short film by local director Dana Al Mojil is now available to watch online. Wonderland was the Zero Film Festival Grand Jury Winner back in 2011 and I’ve been wanting to see it ever since I watched the trailer last year.
Wonderland is an adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass” that is set in Kuwait. it highlights the similarities between The social and political situation in modern Kuwait and Wonderland. The film starts when Alice doesn’t understand why does the Ace in playing cards equals 11 when it says one. And that becomes her mission that drives her through all the hierarchy of changing in Kuwait. On her way, for better or worse, she meets the Cheshire cat, the Mad hatter, Mosa’ed and Mes’ed “tweddlee Dee and tweddlee Dum”, the Caterpillar, the Joker and the Queen, which will shape the outcome of her mission.
You can watch the full film on top or check out the trailer below.

Support local talent!
Makes me sad when these posts have 0 comments then posts complaining about Kuwait have like 400
lack of comments doesn’t mean lack of support of local talents. people comment when they have something they want to say or get off their chest, that’s how it is everywhere.
Looks good! Gonna watch
technically and acting wise looks really good. My only problem is with the plot and script… some scenes seems to be a recreation from other movies, the script seems to have been written in english but then translated to arabic, I couldn’t really manage going further than half the movie. They should merge their amazing technical and acting talents with someone who has good story and script.
Cinematographically well done, the logistics were well thought-out. Story-wise, I wasn’t very well impressed. I love Lewis Carrol and Alice in Wonderland, but the implementation to make it “kuwaiti-fied” (or w/e) didn’t really work. Still very impressed, though.
Did it see it last year in KIFR in Grenada cinema,
pretty amusing, I really loved it.
