Description:
Pure magic! This 1946 French version of the classic story is perhaps the most enchanting live-action fairy-tale ever made, as well as a landmark in fantasy filmmaking. Some of the astonishing effects in the film, such as the human candelabras, were incorporated into the Disney animation, but nothing has matched the sense of wonder and imagination created by this interpretation. Jean Marais' sensitive, frightening, and tragic performance as the Beast is astonishingly moving. In French with English subtitles. Recommended for ages 7 and up. (Jean Cocteau, 1946, 93 mins., 35mm)

Description:
Introduced by the film's director and star, Eric Zala and Chris Strompolos "It's not the years, it's the mileage." One of the most popular films ever screened at the Wexner Center is back! Everything you've heard about this urban legend of a film is true: In 1982, three boys (then 10-12 years old) from the Mississippi Gulf Coast decided to make a shot-for-shot remake of Steven Spielberg's Raiders of the Lost Ark. Over the course of the next seven years-while having to figure out how to recreate state-of-the-art special effects in their backyard-the boys also dealt with all the changes that come with going into and emerging out of puberty. Not only did they have to figure out how to drag a person under a moving truck, they had to kiss a girl for the first time. The result is a film that is perhaps even more exciting and inventive than the original-and a truly inspiring tribute to the virtues of dedication and imagination. The behind-the-scenes stories that the filmmakers share during their Q&A sessions are as entertaining as the film itself! Recommended for ages 10 and up. (Eric Zala, 1982-89, 100 mins., video) This film is specially priced and not included in the discount packages (any 6 tickets for $15 for the general public or $10 for members) available for the Zoom festival as a whole.

Description:
Beautiful and mesmerizing, The Adventures of Prince Achmed was the first full-length animated film. Taken from The Arabian Nights, the story features a Prince who calls upon Aladdin, the Witch of the Fiery Mountain, and a magic horse to help him win the hand of the Princess. Director Lotte Reiniger crafted the elegant animation from delicate hand-cut silhouettes based on Indonesian shadow puppets. Whimsical, intricate, enchanting, and visually stunning, this completely "hand-made" film will charm all ages and audiences. The film will be shown in a version with a new orchestral recording of the magnificent 1926 score by Wolfgang Zeller. Recommended for ages 4 and up. (Lotte Reiniger, 1926, 67 mins., video)
