MIF19: The Wizard of Oz + Introduction at HOME
Creative TouristFleming’s classic begins in the monochrome world of Kansas but bursts into colour when Dorothy’s (Garland) house, uprooted in a tornado, lands in the surreal fairyland of Oz. Dorothy’s mythic journey seems to reveal that to find one’s heart’s desire, ‘there’s no place like home’. A clear influence on Wild at Heart, there is also something of the dark underbelly about this influential fantasy.
This screening will be introduced by Dr Kirsty Fairclough, Associate Dean, School of Arts and Media, University of Salford.
