Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film
In April 1926, the German film "The Adventures of Prince Achmed" by director Lotte Reiniger celebrated its premiere, making it the oldest long animated film in the world. To mark the anniversary, the Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film (ITFS) is presenting a selection of films at Galerie b that tie in with the filmmaker's work and her unique visual language. The exhibition links the past and present of animated film in the films and shows how Lotte Reiniger's play of light and shadow in her artistic silhouette technique continues to inspire many international filmmakers today. In addition to short films by directors from the DEFA Studio for Animated Film in the GDR and a film by Lotte Reiniger herself, other films by contemporary artists from various countries will also be shown. They invite you to experience stories that enchant, move and amaze.
