With a live improvised score by Matt Hagen + Will Andrews (aka Willverine)! Widely recognized as the source of the Frankenstein myth, the ancient Hebrew legend of the Golem provided actor/director Paul Wegener with the substance for one of the most adventurous films of the German silent cinema. Suffering under the tyrannical rule of Rudolf II in 16th-century Prague, a Talmudic rabbi (Albert Steinruck) creates a giant warrior (Paul Wegener) to protect the safety of his people. Sculpted of clay the Golem is a seemingly indestructible juggernaut, performing acts of great heroism, yet equally capable of dreadful violence.
