The films of Edgar G Ulmer

The Yiddish class I belong to has organised a small season of Yiddish Films made by Edgar G Ulmer at the Filmhouse in Edinburgh.

An underground auteur, largely unrecognized during his lifetime, Ulmer has since taken his place among cinema’s legendary figures – an inspiration for the French new wave and a precursor of the American independent film movement, as well as an innovative and unique stylist in his own right. – J Hoberman

More info at the Filmhouse website and I'll be introducing The Light Ahead.

That short season looks really interesting. Thanks for publicising it. Now I'm hoping I can manage along to see maybe one of these films.

it was really interesting

I did an intro for The Light Ahead which was well recieved and did my ego good!
