The Birds Eye View film festival is back for its 6th annual Film Festival of celebrating, championing and showcasing women filmmakers.
This year, they’re giving you the chance to see Lotte Reiniger’s ‘The Adventures of Prince Achmed’. Cutting-edge composer Mira Calix will premiere her new musical accompaniment to the silent animation live at the BFI. It’s sure to be an intriguing mix as Mira Calix’s intimate vocals and experimental electronic textures mix with the now iconic elegant shadows of Lotte Reiniger’s 1926 feature film.
A little bird tells me the festival will also be launching their Animation Lab at this event. Run in partnership with Warp Films, this year-long development programme will bring together women animators and screenwriters to eventually develop an animated feature. One not to miss!
When: 6th March 2010, 6.30 pm
Where: BFI, London
