MUBI is also putting the spotlight on German director Lotte Reiniger, a pioneer of animated cinema inspired by George Méliès and Asian shadow theatres. Three of his works will be scheduled in March, including The Adventures of Prince Ahmed (1926). Inspired by the tale The thousand and One Nightsentirely made of shadow puppets, this film is today considered the oldest animated film still preserved.
