Course 15 credits • YIDB22
The course YIDB22 is currently not being offered
Nine Yiddish films are screened during the course. The films selected are from the golden age of Yiddish film which took place in the first half of the 20th century and are used as a starting point for an introductory discussion of some important currents of modern Yiddish culture in Central and Eastern Europe, the USA and the Soviet Union.
The main aim of the course is to demonstrate how the films shape important themes within modern Jewish culture: homelessness, emigration, dissolution of family traditions and secularisation. All the films screened have subtitles in English.
