Silent Centenarians:

The Adventures of Prince Achmed

$5

Celebrate the 100th birthday of the first feature length animated film still in existence Lotte Reiniger’s The Adventures of Prince Achmed.

Silent Centenarians is a series curated to celebrate 3 classic silent films turning 100 with brand new live improvised piano scores. Our second film of the series, The Adventures of Prince Achmed, is a masterpiece. Lotte Reiniger pioneered use of silhouette cutout animation, multiplane camera techniques, and her film is a rare example of a silent film in vibrant color with each and every frame hand tinted. The film is accompanied by improvisational pianist Devereux Geiger.

Presented as part of the Monthly Music Series at The Bower: This new series welcomes audiences into Beverly’s new creative hub, The Bower, for intimate concerts celebrating the wide variety of talent in our region. Concerts showcase all genres, including jazz, rock, classical, folk, and more.
