Using instruments as passports for millennia, wandering Jewish musicians are still among us. From ram's horn to beatbox, from Argentina to Uganda, THE WANDERING MUSE explores the kaleidoscope of Jewish identities through the ever-changing music of the diaspora. In constant motion, the film is a series of encounters with Jewish musicians from around the world. Shattering stereotypes and upending expectations, each scene brings us closer to the nomadic soul wandering in a borderless world of harmonies. With the traditional and the contemporary in continuous dialogue, THE WANDERING MUSE attends to the birth of a dynamic new Jewish music. Official Selection at the **Copenhagen Jewish Film Festival** and at the **Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival.** *"Even when the musical style changes - often taking on a modern sound - the power of the words and religious significance is never lost." - Rick Bentley, **Fresno Bee**
