The Adventures of Prince Achmed (PG)
Die Abenteuer Der Prinzen Achmed
Saturday 20 November, 2.00pm, Tyneside Cinema

This magical adventure is based on the story of The Arabian Nights and is the first full-length animation in the history of filmmaking. Over three years, pioneer director Lotte Reiniger painstakingly created all the characters and cut out every silhouette herself, colour-tinting the frames by hand. The result is an enchanting, lively and action-packed adventure and a fantastic example of work with deep historical links to the mystery and intrigue of Baltic folklore. A classic.
Dir: Lotte Reiniger, Germany 1926, 65 mins, Animation,
Silent with English Intertitles.
