Cinema Yiddishland: The Dybbuk

05.03.2026
- 05.03.2026
March 5, 6 p.m., Kino Ponrepo, Bartolomějská 11, Prague 1
 
On the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the founding of the Jewish Museum in Prague, we invite you to the film series “Cinema Yiddishland,” which presents Yiddish culture as a living space and an inexhaustible source of artistic inspiration. The program connects pre-war films that evoke the long-vanished worlds of Eastern European Jewish communities with contemporary works for which Yiddish serves above all as a creative language.
 
The legendary film The Dybbuk, based on the play “Between Two Worlds” by S. An-sky tells the story of a restless spirit that possesses the body of a young woman after a failed ritual. This visionary film, marked by a tragic ending, was a true aesthetic revolution in its time, using mysticism as a means of exploring religious belief. The supernatural here functions as a force that stands in opposition to social reality and historical circumstances.

The film will be introduced by Hebraist Karolina Kašeová.
Director: Michał Waszyński
Language: Yiddish, with English and Czech subtitles, 125 min.
