Enjoy the San Diego premiere of one of the hottest tickets at the recent "Berlin International Film Festival". This is the first time San Diegans will have the opportunity to view the digitally restored version of the 1923 German classic film, "The Ancient Law". Making the evening even more special, the film will be accompanied with an original score by renowned pianist and composer Donald Sosin, performed live along with violinist Alicia Svigals, a founder of the Grammy-winning Klezmatics. The film takes on the theme of Jewish assimilation in 19th-century Europe as it contrasts the closed world of shtetl life with liberal society. With its depiction of a Rabbi's son who breaks with family tradition to become an actor, this 1923 film was clearly the inspiration for the groundbreaking 1927 American film, "The Jazz Singer". Enjoy "The Ancient Law" at La Jolla's David & Dorothea Garfield Theatre. [less-]
