Pioneer film maker Lotte Reiniger created a new form of animation in 1915 called Silhouette Animation. It is one of the rarest forms of animated film. She made Silhouette animation films her entire life but Achmed is the only feature film she created.

This movie was released in 1926 after 3 years in production. This feature film was lost for most of the 20th century. Luckily it has survived and can be seen in beautiful quality.

Featuring the original orchestral music score by Wolfgang Zeller.

The film will be introduced by Film Historian Chris Perry. Q & A after the movie.
