The 38th San Francisco Jewish Film Festival (July 19 - August 5, 2018) is teaming up with the San Francisco Silent Film Festival (SFSFF) to present the International Premiere of The City Without Jews, a recently re-discovered 1924 silent film and biting satire about anti-Semitism. The film will be accompanied by an original live score performed by Sascha Jacobsen and the Musical Art Quintet on Sunday, July 22 at 7:00pm at the Castro Theatre.

Through their large-scale public programs, artist-support services, and commitment to film preservation and discovery, the San Francisco Jewish and Silent Film Festivals are pillars of the San Francisco Bay Area's independent film and media community and are recognized as international, curatorial leaders in their respective fields.
The economy in mythical Utopia is in the dumpster, and who is blamed? The usual scapegoat: the Jews. After the Jews are expelled, however, the economy, missing their invaluable participation, actually takes a turn for the worse, and Utopia begs them to come back. This 1924 silent Austrian satire is an object lesson in the absurdity of such thinking, and an unwitting prediction of the horrific events in Europe ten years later.
