Director: Paul Wegener \/ Carl Boese, Germany 1920, 86 mins, PG<\/p>\n

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\ncreation and the catastrophe that can result from it.\u00a0When Rabbi L\u00f6w 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.
