An event as part of the 33rd Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film with a focus on silhouettes:
DIE ABENTEUER DES PRINZEN ACHMED, the first surviving feature-length animated film in film history, can be experienced anew in an extraordinary live soundtrack with the original music.
Members of the SWR Symphony Orchestra will accompany Lotte Reiniger's 1926 silhouette film live, lending the artistic figures and fairy-tale imagery a new musical dimension:
Larissa Fernandes, violin
Anna Mazurek, violoncello
Elya Levin, flute
Ivan Danko, oboe
Lars Jönsson, piano
Anton Brezinka, conductor
The result is an impressive interplay of early animation art and contemporary interpretation - paying tribute to the pioneer of the animation classic Lotte Reiniger and her style-defining animation technique.
The event in cooperation with SWR shows impressively how vivid film history can be - and how music expands the narrative of images in a special way.
