Welcome to the story of the revival of the Yiddish language, one that follows artists from around the world across numerous disciplines as they reignite the use of the ‘mother tongue’ in music, theatre, opera and literature.
‘Yiddishists’ are an exciting, progressive and creative Jewish subculture. This film shines a light on them, their progressive artistic works, and the significant impact Australia’s Yiddish arts scene has on this global community. From an acclaimed Yiddish-language version of ‘Yentl’ in Melbourne, to Barrie Kosky’s latest trailblazing production in Berlin. The artists and performers in the film all have found solace, identity, and inspiration in its rich traditions and culture.
In Welcome to Yiddishland, acclaimed Australian director Ros Horin offers audiences a positive, nuanced, empowered and inclusive depiction of “Jewishness.”
