October 15, 2025 The Art of Creative Risk & The Story Behind Köln ’75
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.
Join us for our conversation with filmmaker Ido Fluk, on Inside the Arthouse — starting now.

October 08, 2025 Inside ‘The Man Who Saves the World?’ Gabe Polsky on Truth, Illusion & A Mission!
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.

October 02, 2025 The Making of a Masterpiece: Usual Suspects with producer Ken Kokin
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.

September 25, 2025 The Oscar Race for Best Documentary Begins! “Predators” in theaters
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. On INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now…

September 17, 2025 How Texas Chainsaw Massacre Changed Horror Forever!
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. Philippe on Inside the Arthouse, starting now...

September 07, 2025 The Life and Legacy of Elie Wiesel | Soul on Fire Documentary Interview
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.
Join us for our conversation with director Oren Rudavsky on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now.

September 04, 2025 Democracy in Crisis: Academy Award–Nominated Filmmaker Connie Field | Inside the Arthouse
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.

August 20, 2025 Jane Levy & Angus Maclachlan on Love, Family & Indie Film
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.
