Description:
The shadow play became a popular entertainment in Paris during the 18th and 19th centuries, especially at Le Chat Noir where artist Henri Riviere was the designer. Film makers were also inspired by this technique, as illustrated in the following films. Suitable for all ages
The Adventures of Prince Achmed
This 1926 film uses shadow play techniques to tell a charming tale taken from 1001 Arabian Nights. (Directed by Lotte Reineger, 65 min.)
Princes and Princesses
This 2000 film combines the stories of several popular fairy tales.
(Directed by Michel Ocelot, 70 min. with subtitles)
