Northern Silents: The Ancient Law
Alicia Svigals, violin and Donald Sosin, piano - National Centre for Early Music


Program Info:
Klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and pianist Donald Sosin bring vivid musical life to a absorbing historical drama.

The film
In an 1860s Galician shtetl, the teenage son of the community’s rabbi disobeys his father and leaves home to become a Shakespearean actor in Vienna. As delighted as he is by the world of theatre and his success in it, he also longs for home and a way to reconcile his religious heritage with his love of secular literature. Directed by E. A. Dupont in exquisite visual style that evokes Rembrandt, The Ancient Law is an outstanding example of the creativity of Jewish filmmakers in 1920s Germany.
