The German Animator Lotte Reiniger has an entire
filmography of shadow animation -- most notably THE
ADVENTURES OF PRINCE ACHMED (1921), a shadow puppet
extravaganza of 20s orientalisms. Shadow and mythic
narrative seem to pair beautifully in her work. The
shadow element seems to imply that the images are some
kind of fantastical yet fleeting memory.
