The Adventures of Prince Achmed: Miles And Karina CD Release Party

Lotte Reiniger, Germany, 1926, 67 min

Join us for a CD release party with new score composed and performed by Miles and Karina! Climb aboard a flying horse and fly away to the kaleidoscopic world of The Arabian Nights! The Adventures of Prince Achmed was created in 1926 by a 23-year old German teacher named Lotte Reiniger, using silhouette-animation techniques. The film tells the story of an Arabian prince, an evil sorcerer, and a captured princess. Northwest Film Forum is proud to have commissioned Miles and Karina (David Keenan and Nova Devonie) to compose and perform a new score for the film, featuring guitar, violin, banjo and glockenspiel. Miles and Karina's score premiered at 2008's Children's Film Festival Seattle, and since then, the duo has traveled the country performing it. This performance - a year from the date of the score's premiere - is a CD release party for the duo's new recording of the score.
