History of Yiddish Film (in person)
Sunday, Apr 27th 1:00p to 3:00p
Starting in silent movies and extending to today’s hit series “Menasha” and “Unorthodox,” Yiddish language films started as an attempt to entertain the Jewish masses only to become a powerful visual and esthetic record on 20th/21st century Jewry. Covering over a dozen films all with newly composed sub-titles, author/producer Henry Sapoznik and Rick Winston, Vermont's favorite movie maven, talk not only about the great stars of the Yiddish stage and screen (Molly Picon, Maurice Schwartz) but also shed light on the nearly lost legacy of pioneers like producer/director Joseph Seiden and director Edgar G. Ulmer (better known for his gritty, low budget film noirs) who helped will Yiddish films into existence despite tremendous odds during its brief “Golden Age” In addition to films made by and for the immigrant Jewish community, their talk will also focus on how Yiddish was presented in mainstream Hollywood films featuring James Cagney, Joe E. Brown and the Three Stooges. Sign up below!
