SUMMARY:East & West with Molly Picon: Silent Film Screening with Live Original Music
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT 1924 SILENT FILM RESTORED\, TOURS NORTH AMERICA WITH LIVE MUSIC BY TWO RENOWNED AND UNIQUE MUSICIANS. PERFORMANCE  AT JCC IN SHERMAN ON 4/17/26. \nIn East and West\, Molly Picon\, star of 1920s Yiddish theater\, plays the daughter of a rich\, assimilated American who is invited to a family celebration in an Eastern European shtetl. Though her brash behavior alienates her from the locals\, she is admired by a shy orthodox Talmudic scholar. Molly realizes too late that\, in the course of a wedding that she thinks is a joke\, she has actually been married. This entertaining comedy\, which like many works of Yiddish cinema has only survived in fragmentary versions\, was reconstructed by the Filmarchiv Austria.  East and West was unlike any previous Jewish film. E. G. Fried\, a Viennese (and presumably Jewish) newspaperman\, began his favourable review by confessing the he ordinarily went out of his way to avoid those “badly costumed\, ridiculously sentimental” Jewish-subject films which\, most likely produced by Otto Kreisler\, were “permeated with pogroms\, Sabbath tales\, and all manner of poorly acted nonsense.” But East and West\, to which Fried was drawn solely on the basis of Picon’s reputation\, was something else. This film “breathes true Jewish character\,” even though “it does not satisfy – one might say\, thank God – high literary expectations.   (84 min.) \nThe film has been newly restored by Filmarchiv\, Austria with an original score by master silent film pianist Donald Sosin and violinist Alicia Svigals\, the world’s foremost exponent of the klezmer fiddle (klezmer is the traditional music of East European\, Yiddish-speaking Jews). \nThe duo are now touring and performing live with the film in ‘cine-concerts’ around the world. \nARTIST BIOS: \nAlicia Svigals and Donald Sosin have been bringing audiences to their feet throughout the US and Europe with their unique and stirring violin and piano scores for Jewish-themed silent films. Sosin is one of the world’s top silent film musicians\, and Svigals is the world’s leading klezmer violinist and a founder of the Grammy-winning Klezmatics.  After meeting at a silent film festival in Italy\, the two soon recorded their first original score for the 1923 German film The Ancient Law. \nViolinist/composer Alicia Svigals is the world’s leading klezmer fiddler and a founder of the Grammy-winning Klezmatics.  She has performed with and written for violinist Itzhak Perlman\, and has worked with the the Kronos Quartet\, playwrights Tony Kushner and Eve Ensler\, poet Allen Ginsburg\, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin\, Debbie Friedman and Chava Albershteyn. Svigals was awarded a Foundation for Jewish Culture commission for her original score to the 1918 film The Yellow Ticket\, and is a MacDowell fellow. With jazz pianist Uli Geissendoerfer\, she recently released Beregovski Suite \, a recording of contemporary interpretations of klezmer music from a long-lost Soviet Jewish archive. Her CD Fidl (1996) reawakened klezmer fiddle tradition. Her newest CD is Beregovski Suite: Klezmer Reimagined\, with jazz pianist Uli Geissendoerfer – an original take on long-lost Jewish music from Ukraine. \nPianist/composer Donald Sosin grew up in Rye\, New York and Munich\, and has performed his scores for silent films\, often with his wife\, singer/percussionist Joanna Seaton\, at Lincoln Center\, MoMA\, BAM\, the National Gallery; and major film festivals in New York\, San Francisco\, Telluride\, Hollywood\, Pordenone\, Bologna\, Shanghai\, Bangkok\, Berlin\, Vienna\, Moscow\, and Jecheon\, South Korea. He records for Criterion\, Kino\, Milestone and Flicker Alley\, and his scores are heard frequently on TCM. Sosin has had commissions from MoMA\, the Chicago Symphony Chorus\, the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra. He lives in rural Connecticut with his family.
