The world's first animated feature is given a new, electronic-infused jazz score by Phillip Johnston and his quartet, in this free screening at Fed Square.
When a mysterious sorcerer attempts to arrange a marriage with a young princess, her brother, Prince Achmed, is quick to intervene. However, the prince is tricked into mounting a flying horse and is soon whisked away to a faraway land.
Drawing on a long history of shadow puppetry and based on stories from Arabian Nights, Lotte Reiniger's beautifully handcrafted silhouette animation is the world's oldest surviving animated feature - and perhaps the world's first. Ninety-four years young, this early work of silent cinema is complemented with a new, electronic-infused jazz score by Phillip Johnston and his quartet.
Presented by ACMI, Fed Square and the Goethe-Institut.
