Details.
Wiki.
Breaking Home Ties is a 1922 American silent drama film directed by George K. Rolands and Frank N. Seltzer and starring Lee Kohlmar, Rebecca Weintraub and Jane Thomas. It centers on Russian Jewish immigrants in Manhattan's Lower East Side.
The film was believed to be lost, before being rediscovered in Berlin in an archive in the 1980s. The National Center for Jewish Film led the digital restoration of the film over the ensuing decades.
The restored version of the film, with its newly commissioned score, will premiere at the New York Jewish Film Festival on 19 January 2025.
