Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory
A very special family-friendly screening for our Philosophy on Film strand, exploring the philosophical questions raised by this fascinating classic adaptation.
Get into the chocolate-eating spirit with this iconic and scrumdiddlyumptious version of Roald Dahl’s much-loved classic. A poor but hopeful boy seeks one of the five coveted golden tickets that will send him on a tour of Willy Wonka’s mysterious chocolate factory.
Our guest philosopher will be on hand to guide us through the fascinating interplay between philosophy and film.
