Screenshot from the eight-episode series The Golem. The silent film 
has been paired with modern music in this remake.

“We were very mindful of 
gathering different voices that 
could add commentary to the 
themes that are present in The 
Golem,
” Katznelson says. Dr. 
Ken Goldberg, for example, 
will be speaking in the reboot. 
The professor of robotics at UC 
Berkeley has written extensive-
ly about The Golem, connecting 
it to today’s use of robotics and 
reliance on artificial intelli-
gence.
Other com-
mentators will 
include film his-
torians, scholars 
and composers. 
“The people who 
we’ve asked to 
comment will give 
their own take on 
what we’re hoping 
will become a great 
experience in the 
film,
” Katznelson 
adds.
The eight episodes will be 
hosted by mythologist, writer 
and podcaster John K. Butcher 
and history communicator and 
podcaster Torri Yates-Orr. Each 
with its own dedicated theme, 
the episodes will cover topics 
like music and mysticism, 
magic, how The Golem con-
nects to the future, and differ-
ent ways it has been portrayed 
in film, myth and pop culture 
over the decades.
“You’re suddenly looking at 

it as a section-by-section film,
” 
Katznelson explains of the 
decision to cut the film into an 
episodic series. “Cutting the 
film allowed me to really do a 
deep dive into it.
”
The addition of music to 
the previously silent film helps 
viewers reimagine the story of 
The Golem even more. While 
some people haven’t seen the 
original film, Katznelson hopes 
the reboot will encourage audi-
ences to explore 
its enduring his-
tory and legacy 
on their own.
“You get this 
visceral feeling 
when you’re 
listening to this 
modern music 
attached to these 
old images,
” 
Katznelson says. 
“It brings those 
images to life in a 
whole new way.
”
Yet 100 years later, topics 
The Golem touches upon — 
antisemitism, creation myths 
and the dark side of Hollywood 
— continue to persist today. 
“The idea of how relevant it 
still is and how it comes up in 
life on such a regular basis,
” 
Katznelson says of the film, “it’s 
pretty incredible.
”
