Die Stadt ohne Juden (The City Without Jews)
Silent film by Hans Karl Breslauer (1924, Austria)

Program:

Music — Olga Neuwirth (2017)

The film “Die Stadt ohne Juden” which came out in 1922 was produced based on the anti-utopian novel of the same name by Hugo Bettauer. The book was written in the conditions of tide of antisemitism gaining power at that time resounding to it with a bitter satire: the writer narrates about the banishment of the Jews from Vienna.
The book was very popular in its time and became the most well-known work by Hugo Bettauer. In 1923 Hans Karl Breslauer began his work on creating the film. The producer altered a number of details, — in particular, he created the real Vienna into an imaginary Utopia. The greater amount of modifications and deviations from the original story were required in order to avoid problems with the censorship. During the exhibition of the film the Nazis were staging riots across the country, and in 1925 Hugo Bettauer was shot by a member of the National Socialist Workers’ Party.
For many years the film “Die Stadt ohne Juden” was considered to be lost. In 2015 it was found by chance at a flea market in Paris and passed on to the Austrian National Cinema Archive, where it was restored. Presently “Die Stadt ohne Juden” is acknowledged to be one of the most important Austrian films of the interwar period and the first cinematographic document directed against antisemitism.

The music of Olga Neuwirth was composed especially for the premiere of the restored version of the film which took place on November 7, 2018 at the Vienna Konzerthaus.
