# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Silents, Please: The Adventures of Prince Achmed in 35mm with Live Score
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 14 Jun, 2026 at 02:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Hailed as the first feature-length animated film in the history of cinema, this captivating film by pioneering animator Lotte Reiniger tells the story of Prince Achmed’s magical adventures.

Taken from ‘The Arabian Nights,’ the first full-length animated feature  (a full decade earlier than Disney’s ‘Snow White’) tells the story of a wicked sorcerer who tricks Prince Achmed into mounting a magical flying horse, sending him off to a series of wondrous and romantic adventures. A masterful example of silhouette-style animation and a true breakthrough in cinematic story-telling. Join us for 100th anniversary presentation on the big screen at the Somerville Theatre with live score.

Live musical scoring will be provided by silent film accompanist Jeff Rapsis, a New Hampshire-based performer who specializes in music for silent film presentations. In the tradition of theatre organists of the 1920s, Rapsis improvises each film’s score on the spot, making up the music as the movie is screened. Rapsis uses a digital synthesizer to create the texture of a full orchestra.
