About this event
Three years in the making, Lotte Reiniger’s beautiful 1926 silhouette animation, The Adventures of Prince Achmed , brings to life magical tales from the Arabian Nights. The earliest surviving animated feature film – preserved in the BFI National Archive – it has been hailed as one of the world’s most innovative and influential animations. In celebration of the film’s centenary, The Adventures of Prince Achmed returns to the big screen, along with three of the director’s later fairytale short films - Papageno , The Frog Prince , and Thumbelina .
