Dovetail Orchestra live-scores: The Adventures of Prince Achmed
Jean Cocteau Cinema 418 Montezuma Ave, Santa Fe, NM
From Jean Cocteau Cinema
Back by popular demand! An encore presentation of THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED. Seems like a hundred years flew right by… 1926 was a vibrant year in early cinema, and Lotte Reiniger, a German filmmaker already known for her mastery of silhouettes in collaboration with Max Reinhardt, had finally finished the jaw-dropping THE ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED, a film that is widely known today as the oldest surviving animated feature film. Reiniger’s stunning, hand-cut puppets and lighting techniques were groundbreaking, along with her precise timing and mastery of early animation. Experience this film with a live score, performed by Dovetail Orchestra on Thursday, May 21 at the Jean Cocteau Cinema.
