In conjunction with the exhibition Slash: Paper Under the Knife, MAD presents The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926), which interprets the tale of 1001 Nights with elegant, dream-like, and classic paper-cut animation. Directed by German filmmaker Lotte Reiniger (1899-1989), one of the most influential and revered animators in film history, The Adventures of Prince Achmed is the first ever animated feature film. Pianist and composer Donald Sosin will accompany this silent film with his original score, giving museum visitors a spectacular visual and audio experience.
