Don't miss 'The Adventures Of Prince Achmed' by German director Lotte Reiniger at Cinema Akil on October 17 and October 20.
The film's original 65-minute running time gave it the distinction of being the first animated feature in the world, but only one copy remained in existence until Reiniger supervised the striking of newly tinted negatives in the early '70s.
German director Lotte Reiniger spent three years making this silent animated film based on the Arabian Nights legends.
