Drift away to distant lands in beautiful colours. The Adventures of Prince Achmed takes you on a journey to a fairytale world inspired by the stories of One Thousand and One Nights. Director and animator Lotte Reiniger tells the marvellous tale of the prince in the oldest feature-length animated film in cinema history.

Prince Achmed is lured into a trap by an evil sorcerer with a wicked plan. The sorcerer convinces the prince to mount a flying horse without telling him how to make the creature land again. This marks the beginning of a long journey filled with encounters with mythical beings, monsters, Aladdin and his magic lamp — and he even falls in love. Will Achmed make it back in time to stop the sorcerer’s evil plan?

A magical film to enjoy with the whole family (ages 7 and up).
