The Man Without a World: Film Screening with live original music composed and performed by world renowned klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and celebrated silent film pianist Donald Sosin.
Movie Summary: A unique group of Polish villagers—Jews, Cossacks, vagabonds—in the 1920s in a tale of romance, love, marriage, social struggles, and death. A stunning silent film that seems to have been made in the Soviet era, but was really shot in San Diego in 1992 by groundbreaking artist Eleanor Antin. Lovingly restored by Milestone Films and featuring a newly composed score that will be performed live by world-renowned klezmer violinist Alicia Svigals and celebrated silent film pianist Donald Sosin.
