9 April 2026 at 7.30 pm at the Maison de la Culture Yiddish

The first talking film tells the story of a cantor: *The Jazz Singer*. But how was Yiddish culture brought to the big screen following its popular success in the theatre and vaudeville? Talila and Nadia Déhan-Rotschild bring these great songs and their performers back to life by exploring their presence in non-Yiddish-language documentaries and films. This lecture is organised with the support of the FMS.
