The Klezmer Project is a hybrid film that cleverly combines multi-layered narrative and documentary. Part music and history documentary, part road movie, and part romance, the film follows Leandro, a young man living in Buenos Aires, as he meets musician Paloma. Leandro, who works shooting Jewish weddings, is actually indifferent to his ethnic heritage, but to win Paloma over, he pretends to be filming a documentary about a piece of traditional Jewish music called the klezmer. What begins as a lie ends up being a journey to Europe, where the two directors and their eponymous protagonists capture the language, culture, and music of the vanishing Jews of the Trans-Carpathian region of Hungary and Ukraine. Deftly shifting between documentary and fiction, the film draws keen insights into history and culture from a vast and complex array of references. The protagonists' search for klezmer music among the Jews of Europe is largely unsuccessful. But they do find traces among the Gypsies, who once coexisted with and influenced the Jews. Could there be a more poignant and dramatic twist? Given the paradox of Israel's founding, making Hebrew its only official language, the disappearance of Yiddish, and the decline of a rich Jewish culture outside of Israel.
