Miles & Karina wow movie-goers once again: Return of the Prince
Posted by Marlow Harris under Theater , Music
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!
