INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE

Oscar Shortlisted | THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB — A Girl’s Cry for Help In the press kit for her urgent new film THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB, Oscar-nominated filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania writes that cinema “doesn’t report, it remembers. It doesn’t argue, it makes you feel.” That ethos reverberates through every frame of this devastating, Oscar-shortlisted work—an act of cinematic remembrance that bypasses rhetoric and lands directly in the body. Regardless of where one stands on the politics surrounding Gaza, THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB is impossible to watch without being profoundly moved. This is narrative cinema as emotional reckoning. Based on the true story of six-year-old Hind Rajab, the film revisits the final hours of a child trapped inside her family’s bullet-riddled car after an attack leaves her surrounded by the bodies of her relatives. As Hind pleads for help, responders from the Palestinian Red Crescent Society remain on the phone, struggling to keep her calm while desperately attempting to secure safe passage for an ambulance. Ben Hania constructs the film around the actual emergency call recording, interwoven with performances by actors portraying the Red Crescent workers, resulting in a film that unfolds like a nerve-shredding thriller—precise, immersive, and emotionally overwhelming. Though rigorously researched and rooted in real events, the film is not a documentary. From a filmmaker nominated for both Best International Feature and Best Documentary, that distinction is intentional: this is cinema designed to make us feel. Selected as Tunisia’s official submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature and recently named to the Oscar shortlist, THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB opens theatrically in New York and Los Angeles on December 17, before expanding across the U.S. In this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we sit down with Kaouther Ben Hania to explore how this extraordinary film came to be, the ethical weight of dramatizing real trauma, and the power of cinema to preserve memory when the world moves on. 🎙️ Listen now to our conversation with Kaouther Ben Hania—only on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE.  @laemmle   @OfficialRaphaelSbarge  @kaoutherbenhania  @watermelonpicturesco   @thepartyfilmsales   @clarakhoury1  https://www.youtube.com/@weluvwilla https://www.instagram.com/kaoutherbenhania #TheVoiceOfHindRajab #HindRajab #KaoutherBenHania #OscarShortlist #OscarShortlisted #AcademyAwards #BestInternationalFeature #InternationalFeature #TunisiaCinema #TunisianFilm #Palestine #Gaza #GazaStory #HumanRights #WarAndChildhood #TrueStory #BasedOnTrueEvents #PalestinianRedCrescent #RedCrescent #EmergencyCall #NarrativeCinema #SocialImpactFilm #PoliticalCinema #FestivalFilm #ArthouseFilm #IndieFilm #NewYorkMovies #LAMovies #USRelease #insidethearthouse The Voice of Hind Rajab film Hind Rajab true story Kaouther Ben Hania film Kaouther Ben Hania Oscar nominated director Oscar shortlisted international feature film Academy Awards Best International Feature shortlist Tunisia official Oscar submission film The Voice of Hind Rajab Oscar shortlist Gaza true story film Film about Gaza child Palestinian Red Crescent Society emergency call Emergency call recording film Based on true events narrative cinema Human rights arthouse film Political cinema emotional storytelling Social impact international film Middle East conflict film drama Arthouse thriller based on real events Childhood in war film New York Los Angeles theatrical release December 17 Indie international film US release Inside the Arthouse Kaouther Ben Hania interview Oscar shortlisted foreign language film Cinema that remembers not reports THE VOICE OF HIND RAJAB Directed by Kaouther Ben Hania Distributed by WILLA https://www.youtube.com/@weluvwilla With support from Watermelon Pictures and Film4 https://www.youtube.com/@watermelonpictures https://www.youtube.com/@Film4 Listen to the full conversation on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE.

THE TALE OF SYLYAN:This Documentary Proves You Don't Need Scripts for Drama with DP Jean Dakar | INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE In our latest INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE interview, we’re joined by cinematographer Jean Dakar to talk about the quietly seismic documentary THE TALE OF SILYAN—the much-anticipated follow-up to Tamara Kotevska’s Oscar-nominated HONEYLAND. What begins as an investigation into how climate change is altering stork migration patterns in Macedonia becomes—over three years of filming—something bigger, stranger, and more human: a portrait of global economic pressure, the ripple effects of migration, the slow unspooling of rural life, and the delicate chain linking people, land, and wildlife. And here’s the flex: it often plays like a narrative feature… but nothing is staged. Every look, every turn, every hard-earned moment is real—captured with the kind of patience and precision that makes “truth” feel cinematic without ever polishing away the mess. We get into the weeds with Dakar on craft, access, ethics, and how you actually film reality as it’s changing in real time—plus what it means to build a visual language that’s immersive without feeling invasive. That conversation on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE starting now.  @laemmle   @OfficialRaphaelSbarge   @PicturehouseCinemas   @natgeodocs8804  @picentfilms  @0oIceCubeo0   @ConcordiaStudios  #InsideTheArthouse #TheTaleOfSilyan #JeanDakar #TamaraKotevska #Honeyland #Documentary #DocumentaryFilm #DocFilmmaking #Cinematography #DirectorOfPhotography #DP #CameraWork #FilmInterview #Podcast #IndieFilm #Arthouse #WorldCinema #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalDocumentary #WildlifeDocumentary #HumanMigration #VisualStorytelling #FilmCraft #BehindTheScenes #NonfictionFilm #FilmPodcast #FilmCommunity #Cinephile #FestivalFilm #macedonia Inside the Arthouse podcast, The Tale of Silyan, Jean Dakar, Tamara Kotevska, Honeyland follow-up, documentary cinematography, director of photography interview, DP interview, behind the scenes documentary, nonfiction filmmaking, vérité filmmaking, observational documentary, climate change documentary, stork migration Macedonia, environmental documentary film, wildlife and human story, rural communities, global economic pressure, human migration story, filming real life, ethical documentary filmmaking, cinematic documentary, film craft conversation, indie documentary, arthouse documentary, world cinema podcast, film podcast interview, festival documentary, cinematography breakdown, camera technique documentary Learn more about your ad choices.

They say journalism is the first rough draft of history—but what about films based on true events that bring the past to life on screen? Are they meant to serve as a historical record, or do they use history to reveal deeper emotional truths? In this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we’re joined by acclaimed filmmaker, writer, and actor Cherien Dabis to discuss her sweeping new film, ALL THAT’S LEFT OF YOU—a powerful Palestinian family drama that spans 70 years and traces the long emotional aftershocks of displacement. Set in motion by the Nakba and the 1948 expulsion from Jaffa, the film follows one uprooted family from the chaos of the 1948 war into life as refugees in the Occupied West Bank and beyond. Rather than simply recreating history, Dabis crafts a deeply human, multigenerational story about loss, survival, memory, and resilience—and how one moment of violence can reverberate through a family for decades. Dabis stars in the film alongside celebrated Palestinian actors from the legendary Bakri family—Adam Bakri, Saleh Bakri, and Mohammad Bakri—whose performances give the story striking intimacy and authenticity. After premiering to acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival, ALL THAT’S LEFT OF YOU won the Audience Award at the Sydney Film Festival and has been selected as Jordan’s official submission for Best International Feature at the Academy Awards (Oscars). Listen now for our in-depth conversation with Cherien Dabis about storytelling, history on film, Palestinian cinema, and what it means to bear witness through art—starting now on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE.  @laemmle   @OfficialRaphaelSbarge   @cheriendabis   @adammbakri   @watermelonpicturesco   @TheMatchFactory @allthatsleftofyoufilm ALL THAT’S LEFT OF YOU, All That's Left of You film, Cherien Dabis, Palestinian cinema, Middle East cinema, Arab cinema, Palestinian film, multigenerational drama, family saga, historical drama, political drama, Nakba, 1948, Jaffa, Occupied West Bank, West Bank, displacement, refugees, intergenerational trauma, resilience, survival, memory, identity, human rights, conflict, protest, Sundance Film Festival, Sydney Film Festival Audience Award, Jordan official submission, Best International Feature, Academy Awards, Oscars submission, Bakri family, Adam Bakri, Saleh Bakri, Mohammad Bakri, INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, indie film, arthouse film, festival film, auteur cinema #AllThatsLeftOfYou #CherienDabis #PalestinianCinema #PalestinianFilm #ArabCinema #MiddleEastCinema #IndieFilm #ArthouseFilm #FestivalFilm #HistoricalDrama #FamilySaga #MultigenerationalStory #Nakba #1948 #Jaffa #WestBank #OccupiedWestBank #Displacement #Refugees #IntergenerationalTrauma #Resilience #Survival #Memory #Identity #HumanRights #Sundance #SundanceFilmFestival #SydneyFilmFestival #AudienceAward #Oscars #AcademyAwards #BestInternationalFeature #Jordan #BakriFamily #AdamBakri #SalehBakri #MohammadBakri #InsideTheArthouse #FilmmakerInterview #CinemaPodcast #FilmPodcast #worldcinemas #arthouse #arthouseFilm @laemmle #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.

The Microbudget Filmmaking Miracle of BURT!   $7,000 might buy you a used car—but in Hollywood, it barely covers a single day of craft services on a studio film set. But in the world of microbudget filmmaking, $7K became the entire production budget for filmmakers Joe Burke and Oliver Cooper, who used that tiny sum to create a full-length, truly independent feature film. With a small crew, non-professional actors, shooting quickly, with a raw, natural shooting style, they crafted BURT— a miracle of sweetness and depth— a film that captures the spirit of classic indie cinema, echoing the charm of mumblecore pioneers like Andrew Bujalski, Greta Gerwig, and the Duplass Brothers. Having wowed audiences at numerous film festivals, Joe and Oliver are channeling the Cassavetes playbook—and releasing BURT themselves into theaters. On this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we wanted to talk to them about the inspiration for the film, their creative process, how they pulled off a feature on a shoestring budget, and the strategy behind bringing an independent film directly to audiences. BURT is a small gem of a film, and Joe and Oliver are great examples of the indie spirit. So if you're dreaming of selling your car to make a movie—or want to learn how authentic independent films get made—you’ll want to start this episode right now… on Inside the Arthouse. @Laemmle @OfficialRaphaelSbarge @joeBurkeFilm @theOliverCooper @kenjikamera2676 @caliphone_TimRutili #BURTMovie#BurtFilm #IndieFilm #IndependentFilm #MicrobudgetFilm #IndieCinema #MicrobudgetFilmmaking #LowBudgetFilm #DIYFilmmaking #NoBudgetFilm#IndieFilmmaker #makeamovie microbudget filmmaking how to make a movie for $7,000 no budget filmmaking DIY feature film independent filmmaking process American indie film style mumblecore filmmaking style #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #FilmmakerInterview #FilmPodcast #VideoPodcast #FilmAnalysis #CreativeProcess #StorytellingMatters #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmDistribution #FilmBusiness #MovieIndustry #IndieCinema #FilmFestivals #RepertoryCinema#Filmmaking #DirectorInterview #OnSetStories#arthouse #arthouseFilm @laemmle #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.

LEFT-HANDED GIRL: Taiwan’s Oscar Entry Redefining Indie Cinema with director Shih-Ching Tsou. LEFT-HANDED GIRL is the latest breakout in Taiwanese indie cinema—a vibrant, deeply personal coming-of-age story from filmmaker Shih-Ching Tsou, co-writer and frequent collaborator of multi–Oscar-winning director Sean Baker (Tangerine, The Florida Project, Red Rocket). Set against the electric pulse of Taipei’s night markets, the film follows a young girl pushing back against cultural expectations and discovering her own voice. It’s intimate, tender, and boldly cinematic—the kind of film that sneaks up on you and stays. Born out of a long creative partnership that began in an AFI editing class and evolved across years of filmmaking, LEFT-HANDED GIRL marks Tsou’s most personal work yet. Co-written and edited by Baker, the film has already drawn international acclaim, premiering at major festivals and earning a celebrated spot at Cannes. It is also Taiwan’s official submission to the 2025 Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film, powered by stunning performances from its unforgettable trio of lead actresses. On this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with Shih-Ching Tsou to explore her path to the film—how her collaborations shaped her craft, how she built this world from lived experience, and what it takes to break tradition in pursuit of your own creative truth. If you’ve ever felt torn between expectation and self-discovery, this conversation will hit home.

🎬 Put My Soul in My Hand and Walk | Inside the Arthouse In this episode of Inside the Arthouse, filmmaker Sepideh Farsi dives into her gripping new documentary Put My Soul in My Hand and Walk — a visceral, human story emerging from one of the most turbulent moments in recent memory. Unable to enter Gaza herself, Farsi partnered with journalist Fatma Hasona, whose raw footage and lived experience drive the emotional heartbeat of the film. Together, they craft an intimate look at daily life, resilience, and the courage it takes to document truth under extraordinary pressure. This conversation is not about politics — it’s about people. About the creative act of bearing witness. About art shaped in the midst of conflict. And about the universal longing for understanding in a fractured world. A powerful, deeply felt discussion on filmmaking, humanity, and storytelling when it matters most.

Inside the Arthouse | Ira Sachs on Peter Hujar’s Day — Queer Art, Intimacy & the Legacy of a Generation It’s been nearly 30 years since filmmaker Ira Sachs made his indie debut with The Delta. While many of his peers moved toward studio franchises or television, Sachs has remained committed to crafting deeply personal films that explore love, identity, and the quiet intricacies of human connection. In his new feature, Peter Hujar’s Day, Sachs turns to the rediscovered transcript of Linda Rosenkrantz’s 1974 interview with groundbreaking photographer Peter Hujar — a portrait of an artist, a community, and a moment in American culture that shaped everything that followed. With mesmerizing performances from Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall, the film becomes a meditation on memory, creation, and the passage of time — a tender homage to queer history and artistic truth. At just 76 minutes, it’s lean but layered — a film that lingers like a photograph, revealing more the longer you look. 🎙️ Join hosts Greg Laemmle and Raphael Sbarge for an intimate conversation with Ira Sachs about art, legacy, and why the most radical act in cinema might still be honesty. @Laemmle  @OfficialRaphaelSbarge   @janusfilmsnyc  #PeterHujarsDay @janusfilms #IraSachs #BenWhishaw #RebeccaHall #JanusFilms #Sideshow #IndependentFilm#ArthouseCinema #IndieFilm #InsideTheArthouse #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres Ira Sachs interview, Peter Hujar’s Day film, Ben Whishaw, Rebecca Hall, Linda Rosenkrantz, queer cinema, independent film, arthouse film podcast, Inside the Arthouse, LGBTQ+ filmmakers, contemporary indie film, Peter Hujar photographer, queer art history, Ira Sachs Passages, Love Is Strange #InsideTheArthouse #IraSachs #PeterHujarsDay #BenWhishaw #RebeccaHall #QueerCinema #IndependentFilm #ArthouseFilm #FilmPodcast #Cinephile #LGBTQFilm #IndieFilm #FilmDiscussion #FilmLovers #RaphaelSbarge #GregLaemmle #LaemmleTheatres#BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #FilmmakerInterview #FilmPodcast #VideoPodcast #FilmAnalysis #CreativeProcess #StorytellingMatters #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmDistribution #FilmBusiness #MovieIndustry #IndieCinema #FilmFestivals #RepertoryCinema#Filmmaking #DirectorInterview #OnSetStories#arthouse #arthouseFilm @laemmle #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.

🎬 Inside the Arthouse | COEXISTENCE, MY ASS! — Comedy, Conflict, and the Fight for Peace The war in Gaza may have quieted under a fragile ceasefire, but the conflict between Israel and Palestine continues to divide. In a world where politicians fail to find common ground, can comedy succeed where diplomacy has stalled? In filmmaker Amber Fares’s new documentary, COEXISTENCE, MY ASS!, we meet Noam Shuster-Eliassi — a former UN staffer turned comedian using humor to bridge the divide between Israelis and Palestinians. Her story spans from the early days of her one-woman show, through the pandemic shutdown, and into the aftermath of October 7, 2023, revealing a fearless performer who refuses to stop laughing — or speaking truth to power — even in the darkest moments. Our hosts Raphael Sbarge and Greg Laemmle sit down with Amber Fares and Noam Shuster-Eliassi to talk about satire, resistance, and the role of art in times of conflict — from Tel Aviv to late-night TV. 🎙️ Inside the Arthouse — where filmmakers and storytellers go beyond the frame.

🎧 New Episode: Roads of Fire — Seeing Beyond the Headlines on Immigration The question of illegal immigration dominates today’s headlines—but between outrage and fear, the human stories often get lost. In his powerful new documentary Roads of Fire, filmmaker Nathaniel Lezra turns down the noise to show what’s really happening on the ground. Through three intimate threads, he reveals the humanity, complexity, and courage behind one of the most urgent issues of our time. 🔥 One journey follows Venezuelan migrants crossing into Colombia and braving the dangerous overland trek through Panama’s Darién Gap. 🔥 Another highlights advocates, faith leaders, and volunteers in New York City working tirelessly to shelter, feed, and guide asylum seekers. 🔥 And finally, we meet one mother’s story of survival and renewal, as she rebuilds a life for herself and her children in the U.S. Whatever your stance on immigration policy, this is a film—and a conversation—that asks us to look closer, to listen deeper, and to remember the real people behind the politics. 🎙️ Join us for this week’s episode of Inside the Arthouse, where we talk with Nathaniel Lezra about Roads of Fire, the ethics of documentary storytelling, and what it means to find freedom on uncertain ground. #InsideTheArthouse #RoadsOfFire #NathanielLezra #DocumentaryFilm #ImmigrationStories #IndieFilmPodcast #DariénGap #VenezuelanMigrants #ImmigrationCrisis #AsylumSeekers #Filmmaking #HumanRights #Cinephile #FilmDiscussion #podcast Roads of Fire documentary Nathaniel Lezra interview Inside the Arthouse podcast immigration documentary 2025 Darién Gap migrants Venezuelan migrants documentary asylum seekers in New York human stories immigration independent documentary film immigration crisis USA filmmaking ethics indie film podcast social issue documentary Inside the Arthouse Roads of Fire humanitarian storytelling in film border crisis documentary Venezuelan migration 2025 Darién Gap crossing stories real stories behind immigration creative nonfiction filmmaking indie director interviews documentary filmmaking process empathy in storytelling socially conscious cinema @laemmle @OfficialRaphaelSbarge @InsidetheArthouse #RoadsOfFireDocumentary #PodcastEpisode #NewPodcast #PodcastersOfInstagram #PodcastCommunity #FilmmakerInterview #CreativeProcess #StorytellingMatters #listennow #InsideTheArthouse #RoadsOfFire #IndieFilm #DocumentaryFilm #Filmmaking #FilmPodcast #IndieCinema #Cinephile #BehindTheCamera #FilmCommunity#ImmigrationStories #HumanRights #AsylumSeekers #VenezuelanMigrants #DariénGap #BorderStories #GlobalVoices #EmpathyInAction #TruthInStorytelling#arthouse #arthouseFilm @laemmle #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.

KOLN '75 with Director Ido Fluk on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE Keith Jarrett’s The Köln Concert is the best-selling solo album in jazz history — a live recording of his extraordinary January 24, 1975, performance at the Cologne Opera House. Earlier this year, the album was inducted into the Library of Congress’s National Recording Registry, cementing its place as one of the most iconic moments in modern music. In KÖLN 75, filmmaker Ido Fluk turns the familiar music-biopic formula on its head, reframing the story through the eyes of Vera Brandes, the 18-year-old promoter who made the concert happen. With a spirit that owes more to punk rock than free jazz, Brandes is brought vividly to life by Mala Emde, while John Magaro delivers a mesmerizing portrayal of the mercurial Jarrett. You don’t have to be a jazz aficionado to love this film. KÖLN 75 is a vibrant, unconventional look at creativity, youth, and artistic risk — and anyone who appreciates original arthouse cinema will find something to connect with here.

THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD? with Director Gabe Polsky One has to wonder what Miguel de Cervantes would make of Patrick McCullum. As we meet Patrick at the start of Gabe Polsky’s new documentary, THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD?, we aren’t quite sure what to make of him — and, frankly, neither is the filmmaker. Is Patrick, a self-proclaimed healer and mystic, truly destined to fulfill a prophecy and bring unity and protection to the Indigenous people of the Amazon? Or, like the hero of Cervantes’s Don Quixote, is he a dreamer tilting at windmills? With Polsky as our modern-day Sancho Panza — and a question mark hanging boldly at the end of the film’s title — we’re invited to question what it truly means to “save the world.” By the nature of the word, we’ve come to expect that documentaries reveal truth and certainty. But THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD? reminds us that sometimes the greatest wisdom lies in embracing what we can’t fully know. The film also features Dr. Jane Goodall, whose lifelong dedication to compassion, science, and the natural world continues to inspire generations. In light of her recent passing, we honor her extraordinary life and the grace with which she shared her insight — in this film and throughout her remarkable journey. 🎥 Join hosts Greg Laemmle & Raphael Sbarge in conversation with filmmaker Gabe Polsky, as they explore the mystery, meaning, and creative process behind THE MAN WHO SAVES THE WORLD? — on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now. #InsideTheArthouse #TheManWhoSavesTheWorld #GabePolsky #JaneGoodall #DocumentaryFilm #Storytelling #IndependentFilm #Filmmaking #CreativeProcess #AmazonRainforest #DonQuixote #inspiration #InsideTheArthouse #TheManWhoSavesTheWorld #GabePolsky #JaneGoodall #DocumentaryFilm #Filmmaking #Storytelling #EnvironmentalAwareness #IndieFilm #CreativeProcess The Man Who Saves the World Gabe Polsky interview Jane Goodall tribute Inside the Arthouse podcast documentary filmmaking independent film creative storytelling environmental filmmaking faith and film Don Quixote inspiration Amazon rainforest mysticism and spirituality filmmaker interview creative process in film truth in documentary modern documentary cinema philosophical documentary Indigenous communities prophecy and storytelling legacy of Jane Goodall #JaneGoodall#LegacyOfJaneGoodall#EnvironmentalAwareness#SpiritualJourney#SaveTheWorld#AmazonRainforest#MysticAndModern#FaithAndFilm#Inspiration#CreativeProcess laemmle @OfficialRaphaelSbarge @InsidetheArthouse @Area23A Listen to us (or Watch us!) on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. #arthouse #arthouseFilm @laemmle #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.

You’ve probably never heard of PUBLIC ACCESS — the 1993 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize winner — but you’ve almost certainly heard of Keyser Soze, the enigmatic villain at the heart of the 1995 Oscar-winning THE USUAL SUSPECTS. So what connects these two films? On this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we sit down with Ken Kokin, the producer of both of these films, and discuss how the same creative team - director Bryan Singer, screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie, editor/composer John Ottman, and producer Kokin - went from making an obscure festival prize winner to creating one of the great mystery crime thrillers of all time. Marking the 30th anniversary of THE USUAL SUSPECTS, this conversation is fun, candid, and illuminating: the origin of Keyser Soze, building the creative collaboration, the leap from festival buzz to Academy Award glory, and the producing lessons behind a legendary twist ending. If you love behind-the-scenes stories, neo-noir thrillers, or the making of cult classics, you’re in the right place. Join us as we discuss one of our arthouse favorites, THE UNUSUAL SUSPECTS, with producer Ken Kokin, on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now. @laemmle @OfficialRaphaelSbarge @InsidetheArthouse Listen to us (or Watch us!) on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

You may not be overly familiar with the 2000s TV show "To Catch a Predator," but chances are you’ve heard about it. Originally starting as a segment on NBC Dateline, the Chris Hansen–hosted program became a cultural sensation, drawing huge audiences even as critics questioned its sordid tone and the ethical and legal issues surrounding its infamous “sting” operations. Although "To Catch a Predator" went off the air in 2008, the rise of internet entertainment sparked a wave of copycat shows, and Chris Hansen himself returned with new true crime programming on streaming platforms. Yet, with all the popularity surrounding Hansen and these types of programs, the bigger questions — Should these shows exist? Are they truly helping solve problems, or exploiting them? — have often been ignored. In PREDATORS, award-winning filmmaker David Osit (MAYOR, THE BALLAD OF LEFTY BROWN) shines a powerful light on this phenomenon. His documentary dissects why audiences are drawn to these programs, puts Chris Hansen and others under scrutiny, and challenges the ethics of entertainment disguised as justice. Praised by critics as one of the year’s best documentaries — and already generating Oscar buzz — PREDATORS is a must-see for anyone interested in true crime, media ethics, or the intersection of entertainment and justice. Join us for our conversation with David Osit, where we dive deep into his filmmaking process, the legacy of TO CATCH A PREDATOR, and the cultural fascination with predator-hunting shows.

CHAIN REACTION director Alexandre O. Philippe on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE Horror films have haunted cinema since its earliest days — from the silent terror of NOSFERATU to the iconic Universal Monsters of the 1930s, to demonic classics like ROSEMARY’S BABY and THE EXORCIST. For generations, filmmakers have pushed the boundaries of fear, redefining what it means to scare audiences. Then came 1974. When THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE premiered, it didn’t just terrify audiences; it changed horror forever. Directed by Tobe Hooper, this low-budget, gritty masterpiece arrived in the aftermath of Vietnam and political turmoil, channeling the anxieties of its time. Today, it remains one of the most influential horror movies ever made, inspiring generations of filmmakers. Acclaimed documentarian Alexandre O. Philippe turns his lens on THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE in his new documentary CHAIN REACTIONS. Rather than retelling the well-known production story, Philippe highlights the film’s cultural impact through the eyes of five devoted fans — all accomplished artists themselves. They reveal how this horror classic shaped their creativity, careers, and storytelling. Philippe has built his career exploring cinema’s cultural touchstones. His celebrated works include 78/52 — a deep dive into Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic Psycho shower scene — and LYNCH/OZ, which uncovers how THE WIZARD OF OZ influenced David Lynch’s surreal filmmaking. With CHAIN REACTIONS, Philippe adds another must-see documentary to his filmography. Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan, a filmmaker seeking inspiration, or just curious about why THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE still matters today, this conversation is for you. Even if you don’t typically watch horror films, you’ll find fresh insight and passion in our discussion with CHAIN REACTIONS director Alexandre O.

Filmmaker Oren Rudavsky takes us inside Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire, a moving portrait of one of history’s most powerful voices against injustice. The world could use Elie Wiesel right now. A voice with the moral integrity and courage to speak truth to power—no matter the cost. Whether it was challenging Ronald Reagan over his decision to visit the Bitburg Cemetery, where SS soldiers were buried, or confronting Bill Clinton about America’s inaction during the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, Wiesel never wavered in his fight against injustice and his relentless pursuit of a world free of the kind of genocide that scarred his youth. Wiesel is no longer here to provide that kind of prophetic guidance. But in Oren Rudavsky's film, ELIE WIESEL: SOUL ON FIRE, we do have the rare opportunity to spend time with Wiesel, with his wife and children, and with the teachers and students who continue to carry on his work. Told in his own words and eloquent voice, the film captures Wiesel’s conflicts, memories, and enduring legacy as one of the most public survivors to the Holocaust. Whether you know Wiesel’s story or are discovering it for the first time, ELIE WIESEL: SOUL ON FIRE is a moving, deeply inspirational portrait. We hope our conversation with the filmmaker encourages you to seek out this remarkable film.

New interview on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE with award-winning Oscar Nominated filmmaker Connie Field. Writer and philosopher George Santayana once said: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Few filmmakers embody that lesson more powerfully than Connie Field, whose documentaries on politics, history, and social change have shaped how we understand democracy and human rights today. Her groundbreaking film The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter highlighted the untold stories of American women working in World War II factories. Her Oscar-nominated Freedom on My Mind documented voter suppression and the fight for voting rights in 1960s Mississippi during the Civil Rights Movement. Now, in her latest documentary DEMOCRACY NOIR, Field turns her camera to Europe, exposing the rise, fall, and return to power of Viktor Orbán in Hungary—a chilling example of how democratic institutions can be eroded and transformed into tools of authoritarian rule. This conversation with Connie Field is an urgent reminder of the importance of protecting democracy, both abroad and here in the United States. Watch our full interview on Inside the Arthouse now.

There’s a special kind of magic that happens when great actors are given the freedom to fully inhabit their characters. In A Little Prayer—the new indie drama from acclaimed writer-director Angus MacLachlan (Junebug)—that magic is front and center. Veteran stars David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) and Celia Weston (Dead Man Walking) play a longtime married couple facing the quiet struggles of family life. At the heart of the story is their daughter-in-law, portrayed by Jane Levy (Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist), in what critics are calling a breakout performance reminiscent of Amy Adams in Junebug. With warmth, humor, and honesty, A Little Prayer explores love, resilience, and the power of family in ways that feel timeless and deeply human. On this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with Angus MacLachlan and Jane Levy to go behind the scenes of the film’s creative journey—from script to screen, and from independent vision to theatrical release. 👉 Watch our exclusive conversation now and discover why A Little Prayer is being hailed as one of the must-see indie films of 2025. #ALittlePrayer #JaneLevy #DavidStrathairn #CeliaWeston #AngusMacLachlan #IndieFilm #IndependentCinema #InsideTheArthouse #BehindTheScenes #FilmInterview #Junebug #FamilyDrama #MovieLoversUSA #IndieFilmPodcast #FilmmakerInterview @musicBoxFilms  @laemmle   @InsidetheArthouse   @OfficialRaphaelSbarge  #AlittlePrayerfilm #JaneLevy  @AngusMacLachlan  A Little Prayer movie A Little Prayer 2025 film Jane Levy A Little Prayer Angus MacLachlan interview David Strathairn new movie Celia Weston A Little Prayer Indie film 2025 Best independent films 2025 Jane Levy breakout role Junebug director new film Inside the Arthouse podcast Behind the scenes indie film Indie drama movies 2025 Family drama film 2025 Amy Adams Junebug comparison Low budget indie filmmaking American independent cinema Filmmaker interview podcast Jane Levy Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist Character-driven drama 2025 Jane Levy interview A Little Prayer movie Angus MacLachlan director of Junebug new film Best indie family dramas 2025 Independent film podcasts USA How A Little Prayer was made #arthouse #arthouseFilm @laemmle #BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres Learn more about your ad choices.
