This beautifully restored 1923 silent film tells the story of a rabbi’s son who leaves his Polish shtetl to pursue acting in Vienna. It is accompanied by a live musical score composed and performed by klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and pianist Donald Sosin, adding a unique, immersive dimension to this CineConcert experience.
We are giving away 4 pairs of tickets for the film screening. See entry form for more details. Good luck!
