The Dybbuk, 1937, Yiddish with subtitles. Introduced by Dr Glyn Davis, Glasgow School of Art.
Based on S. Ansky's play (known also as Between Two Worlds), the film's mythical elements and themes of Jewish folklore tell a story of unattainable love. One of the most ambitious projects of the interwar Polish film industry, Der Dybbuk was also one of the last to emerge from the thriving Polish-Yiddish film industry.
