Silents at the Senate Theater Presents: “The Adventures of Prince Achmed” (1926)

Silents at the Senate, along with our partners at the Arab American National Museum and the Arab Film Festival, is proud to present “The Adventures of Prince Achmed” with live musical accompaniment by John Lauter on the Mighty Wurlitzer theater pipe organ! — This magical tale, the world’s oldest surviving animated feature film, is a landmark of cinematic history, a work of artistry and innovation. Combining several stories from “One Thousand and One Nights”, the film’s depictions of Arab and Muslim cultures demonstrate how folktales from Southwest Asia circulated around the globe for centuries. It will surely delight audiences of all ages with its whimsical story of adventure, sorcery and transformation. — Tickets: $15.00
