The Adventures of Prince Achmed

Year Published: 1926

Creator: Lotte Reiniger

Description:

The earliest surviving animated feature.

This print features an original score by Freddie Phillips who did her 50s BBC stuff. Print was originally tinted but it's gone very red so I have posted it in greyscale.

My grandfather helped arrange Lotte's journey to Canada to work for the NFB in the early 70s, and I inherited many artifacts and 16mm prints of her work, including this feature.

Home transfer from 16mm original. Print in care of the Niagara Artists Centre.
