'The Adventures of Prince Achmed' with Live Accompaniment

Alamo Drafthouse is hosting a screening of the 1926 silent animated film The Adventures of Prince Achmed in a 35mm print, accompanied live with a score from local band Many Birthdays. From Alamo's description:

"Artist Lotte Reiniger painstakingly created a world in silhouette, inspired by Balinese shadow puppetry, using cardboard cutouts, animated with great skill and care. It's like being carried away by a beautiful dream as we follow Prince Achmed, mounted atop a magical flying horse, who overcomes trial after trial to defeat an evil sorceror and win the hand of a princess. ... The score will be provided by Many Birthdays, who, in their words, encompass 'dance, punk, cinema, noise, beats, words, color and texture using drums, echos, distortion and paint. Their shows are a mixture of voices, instruments, projected video, English and Japanese, chaos and construction.' Join us for an evening of music, light and magic."
