Boundaries separating the natural from the supernatural dissolve as ill-fated pledges, unfulfilled passions and untimely deaths ensnare two families in a tragic labyrinth of spiritual possession. The Dybbuk was made on location in Poland in 1937 and brought together the best talents of Polish Jewry, script writers, composers, choreographers, set designers, actors and historical advisors. The film's exquisite musical and dance interludes evoke the cultural richness of both shtetl communities and Polish Jewry on the eve of WWII. Based on the play by S. An-sky. Introduced by David Shneer, associate professor of history and director of the Program in Jewish Studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Academic Director of the Steiner Summer Program. 1
