BEV takes the best of the fest on tour! Cutting edge composer Mira Calix scores the first feature length animation ever made.

The Adventures of Prince Achmed directed by Lotte Reineger in 1926 is a beautiful and creatively narrated fairytale based on elements from the collection 1001 Arabian Nights. Mira Calix Takes Reineger’s creativity further with her brand new musical accompaniment for this silent animation live at the BFI. Mira has been nominated for the British Composer Award 2009 and has worked with Radiohead, Aphex Twin, the London Sinfonietta and Opera North.
