- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 07:30 pm – Fri, 24 Apr, 2026 at 08:45 pm (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: Step into cinematic history with The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the world’s oldest surviving animated feature, brought to life by a live score from Dovetail Orchestra at the Jean Cocteau Cinema on Friday, April 24, 2026 at 7:30pm.
Created by German artist Lotte Reiniger in 1926, Prince Achmed is a marvel of silhouette animation—crafted entirely from delicately jointed cutouts and hand-painted landscapes. Long before digital effects or hand-drawn animation became mainstream, Reiniger transformed paper, light, and imagination into motion, inventing techniques that paved the way for generations of animators from Disney to modern stop-motion artists.
A century later, her vision is reimagined through the lush, cinematic sound of Dovetail Orchestra—a collective blending classical instrumentation, ambient textures, and improvisation to create a live soundtrack that honors Reiniger’s pioneering spirit. Expect an evening of visual magic and musical exploration where timeless art meets modern sound.
