Shadowmaker

Once upon a time, long before Disney or Pixar, Lotte Reiniger ignited the world of animation with shadows, light, and a pair of magical scissors.

SHADOWMAKER

SHADOWMAKER is the feature length animated documentary born out of the short film LOTTE THAT SILHOUETTE GIRL. In 2018, the short film qualified for the Oscars, was shortlisted for an IDA Award, and was selected as one of the Hottest Shorts of Hot Docs.

Pushing the boundaries of traditional documentary, the imagery in SHADOWMAKER weaves together reality and fantasy; telling the true story of Lotte Reiniger with cinematic silhouette animation and a fantastical folklore spirit.
