Stummfilm mit Live-Musik: Mitglieder des SWR Symphonieorchesters spielen Live-Begleitung zu „Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed“

In the organizer's words:

Silent movie with live music:
Members of the SWR Symphony Orchestra play live accompaniment to "The Adventures of Prince Achmed"

A musical film experience awaits the audience on Friday, May 8 at 6:30 pm: The Adventures of Prince Achmed, the first feature-length silent animated film in film history, will be brought to life in an extraordinary live soundtrack. Members of the SWR Symphony Orchestra will accompany Lotte Reiniger's 1926 silhouette film live, lending a new musical dimension to the artistic characters and fairy-tale imagery. 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 and as part of the Stuttgart Festival of Animated Film impressively demonstrates how vivid film history can be - and how music expands the narrative of images in a special way.
