Welcome to Yiddishland (2024)

What if a language nearly extinguished by the Holocaust were to sound again — in theater, on stage, in song, in a punk-klezmer band? This documentary Invites viewers into the wondrous realm of «Yiddishland"—not a country, but a cultural code that brings together progressive Jewish artists from around the world. From Melbourne to Berlin, from New York to Haifa, actors, composers, singers, and directors, young and old alike, are bringing Yiddish back to life — not as a museum artifact, but as a language of political and poetic expression. Through observation, live performances, associative editing, and animated sequences, the film builds an almost choreographic structure—celebratory, ironic, and deeply moving.
