ABOUT THIS EVENT
A magical animated film based on the tales of 1001 Nights, where Prince Achmed encounters wondrous figures and creatures on his journey home. It's an adventure for the whole family.
Dream away to distant lands in stunning colors as the adventures of Prince Achmed take you on a journey to a fairy tale world inspired by the stories from One Thousand and One Nights. Director and animator Lotte Reiniger narrates the remarkable story of this prince in the oldest feature-length animated film in cinematic history.
Prince Achmed is lured into a trap by an evil sorcerer with a wicked plan. He entices the prince to leap onto a flying horse without revealing how to safely land the creature. This marks the beginning of a long journey filled with encounters of mythical beings, monsters, Aladdin and his magic lamp, and love. Will Achmed manage to return in time and stop the sorcerer?
A magical film to experience with the whole family (ages 7+).
