Miles and Karina

Northwest Film Forum previewed The Adventures of Prince Achmed several months ago and commissioned musical duo Miles & Karina to write an original score for the film.  Though performed only a few times at NWFF,  anyone who attended this incredible event can attest to the magic that resulted from this collaboration.

 Join Miles and Karina in a redux at the Vashon Theater on Sunday, April 20th.  A very special film, 80 years old, yet as fresh as today with a new soundtrack to match.  The film was made in  1926 by Lotte Reiniger.  It is the oldest surviving feature-length animated cartoon and features a silhouette animation technique Reiniger had invented which involved manipulated cutouts made from cardboard and thin sheets of lead under a camera.

I was at the inaugural performance and can attest to the utter fabulousness of this program.  Be there!
