Cléa van der Grijn’s surreal feature Elisa in Wonderland has its USA Premiere at the 2025 New Jersey International Film Festival

In 2024, Cléa van der Grijn released her first feature film, The Disembodied Adventures of Alice, a new take on the classic story surrounding Wonderland. A year later, van der Grijn is now releasing another feature that carries heavy references to historical works, Elisa in Wonderland. The film surrounds Elisa, who, upon returning to her ancestral home, grapples with anxiety and other mental health conditions. As the film progresses, her state of health worsens alongside her sense of reality. The film itself is carefully crafted by van der Grijn to deliver this narrative, offering references to historical works of art and poetry to showcase Elisa’s state and her isolation from the world around her.

What about your bedroom once you’d dragged the mattress away? Was there a permanent imprint on the floor like a photonegative? Or had every sign of you vanished? Did you search for traces and marks that proved your time there wasn't an illusion? Or did you turn the key one final time without a parting glance at where you’d been?
