Lotte that Silhouette Girl

Elizabeth BEECHERL / Carla PATULLO

USA2018 10min Asian Premiere

Synopsis

Once upon a time, Lotte changed the world of animation with shadows, light, and a pair of magical scissors. With music, magic, and a stirring narration by Lotte Reiniger herself, this film tells the fairy tale story of one of animations’ biggest influencers.

Program Note

Lotte Reiniger is the pronoun of shadow animation. Her film The adventures Of Prince Achmed (1926) is considered to be the world’s first full-length animation. In Lotte Reiniger there are light that is as fascinating as the shadows. This is what our digital generation animators fail to understand. There is no light in digital silhouette animation. Instead, in Lotte that Silhouette Girl, the video of Lotte Reiniger’s original work and her voice reminiscing her life lead us to a new world of fascination. (NAH Ho-won)
