About the film
FEATURING LIVE SOUNDTRACK PERFORMANCE from DOVETAIL ORCHESTRA
The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) is widely recognized as the oldest surviving feature-length animated film. Directed by Lotte Reiniger, it brings together stories from One Thousand and One Nights using an intricate, groundbreaking silhouette animation technique crafted from hand-cut cardboard and metal figures.
Even now with almost 100 years of animated feature films, nothing has quite has the same experience as this film.
