Director: Paul Wegener / Carl Boese, Germany 1920, 86 mins, PG
One of the early masterpieces of Weimar silent cinema. Paul Wegener, director and main actor, turns the old Jewish Golem myth into a cinematic adventure about power and
creation and the catastrophe that can result from it. When Rabbi Löw foresees huge unrest for his people he creates a Golem from clay and animates it by the mysterious secrets of the Cabbala. The Golem thereby proves to be a hero, but is equally capable of dreadful violence and destruction. A special screening with live music from Terry Davies.
