Visions, Images, and Dreams:

Yiddish Film—Past and Present, revised edition

Eric A. Goldman
Paperback: $25.00
ISBN: 978-0-8419-1437-7
From the early Yiddish silent movies, to the innovative Soviet-supported productions of the 1920s, to the Golden Age of the 1930s, to the present revival of the genre, Eric Goldman traces the history of Yiddish cinema and the people who shaped its development.

Goldman viewed scores of films (some of them considered lost) and combed archives in Europe, the former Soviet Union, and the United States to uncover details, facts, and background for his narrative. This new edition includes films of the past fifteen years, as well as interviews with Jacob Ben-Ami, Ira Greene, Joseph Green, and Molly Picon.
Eric A. Goldman is adjunct associate professor of cinema at Yeshiva University and The Jewish Theological Seminary. He is founder and president of Ergo Media, a DVD publishing company specializing in Yiddish, Israeli and Jewish film.  He is also film reviewer for New Jersey's The Jewish Standard.
