Returns Simplified.Lotte Reiniger (18991981) was a German film director and animator best known forThe Adventures of Prince Achmed, which was released in 1926 and is the oldest surviving animated movie. (It came out a full 11 years before DisneysSnow White!) As a little kid, Reiniger loved reading fairytales and fell in love with puppetry. At school, she learned aboutpaperschnitte, or papercuts, which helped her create her signature style of silhouettes. She grew up to make more than 40 films throughout her long career, most of which were fairytales that used her stop-film animation technique of hand-cut silhouettes. Reiniger is now seen as the foremost pioneer of silhouette animation and the inventor of an early form of the multiplane camera. With art inspired by Reinigers cut-paper style and a text that uses a fairytale motif that mimics her movies,Out of the Shadowsis a sweeping tribute to one of most important figures of animation, whose influence still resonates today.
