INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE with Greg Laemmle & Raphael Sbarge episodes

August 13, 2025 Eric Aronson Paul Guilfoyle: Any Day Now — Comedy, Character, the Gardner Museum Heist
Genre in film is a way we group stories — by shared style, form, or subject.
In the new film ANY DAY NOW, writer-director Eric Aronson takes the familiar framework of a heist movie and flips it on its head. Instead of leaning on nonstop action, Aronson delivers a sharp, character-driven story that leans on comedy — anchored by veteran actor Paul Guilfoyle, whose wit and depth shine in every scene.
At the center of the story is the infamous 1990 Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum robbery in Boston — one of the most audacious and unsolved art heists in American history. Thirteen priceless paintings vanished without a trace, but here the crime is the backdrop to a more intimate tale: how people, in a specific time and place, can collide in ways that reveal our quirks, contradictions, and unexpected outcomes.
As you’re about to see, Eric Aronson and Paul Guilfoyle had an undeniable chemistry bringing ANY DAY NOW to life. Join us as they share the inside story of making their film, on Inside the Arthouse, starting now…

July 22, 2025 Repertory Cinema Lives! Bruce Goldstein on Film Forum, Rialto Pictures & Restoring Movie History
REPERTORY CINEMA at The Film Forum with Programmer Bruce Goldstein
At INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we love discovering bold new voices and emerging filmmakers. But there's something uniquely rewarding about revisiting a classic—whether it's an old favorite or a legendary film you've always meant to watch. And seeing these films on the big screen in a real movie theater is the way they were meant to be experienced.
Repertory cinema in the U.S. has faced its share of challenges, from the rise of home video and streaming to rising urban real estate costs. Many iconic rep theaters have closed. But in recent years, there's been a revival of interest in classic and cult films, shown theatrically in new restorations and 35mm prints.
One of the most influential figures in this movement is Bruce Goldstein, longtime repertory programmer at Film Forum in New York City and founder of Rialto Pictures. For over 50 years, Bruce has been a champion of film history—curating, restoring, and re-releasing cinematic landmarks. In early 2025, Rialto re-released Claude Lelouch’s A Man and a Woman, and coming soon is a brand-new 4K restoration of Jean-Jacques Beineix’s Diva.
We sat down with Bruce Goldstein in New York to talk about the past, present, and future of repertory film programming in the U.S.—and how he’s helped shape what American audiences get to see on the big screen.

July 15, 2025 Why Ukraine Still Matters: Oscar Winner Mstyslav Chernov on Ukraine’s Battle for Freedom Discussion
The war in Ukraine continues, and so does the fight to tell the truth.
Oscar-winning Ukrainian director Mstyslav Chernov (Best Documentary Feature, 20 Days in Mariupol) returns with his urgent new film, 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA — a harrowing and deeply human look at the 2023 battle to liberate the Ukrainian village of Andriivka from Russian forces.
Using real-time body cam footage, drone cinematography, and frontline access, Chernov brings us face-to-face with the brutality, courage, and heartbreak of war. His masterful storytelling transforms chaos into clarity, showing the resilience of Ukraine's defenders in the face of overwhelming odds.
🎙️ In this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we speak with Chernov about what it takes to make a documentary in an active war zone, why the world can't afford to look away, and the global responsibility to stay engaged in Ukraine’s fight for freedom.
📽️ This is not just a war documentary — it’s a call to remember, to witness, and to care.

July 08, 2025 How Embeth Davidtz Turned a Memoir into One of 2025's s Most Powerful Films
🎧 Inside the Arthouse: Embeth Davidtz on Her Stunning Directorial Debut — Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight
In this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we spotlight one of the most powerful new films of the year: DON’T LET’S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT.
Based on the bestselling memoir by Alexandra Fuller, this emotionally charged coming-of-age drama marks the directorial debut of acclaimed actress Embeth Davidtz (Schindler’s List, Junebug). Set in 1970s Zimbabwe during the final days of white colonial rule, the story follows young Bobo — portrayed with incredible subtlety by newcomer Lexi Venter — as she navigates family upheaval and political unrest in a land on the brink of transformation.
Drawing on her own childhood in apartheid South Africa, Davidtz brings unmatched emotional depth and authenticity to this literary adaptation — which debuted to critical acclaim at both Telluride and Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
🎬 The film opens July 11 in New York and Los Angeles with a national release to follow.
🎙️ Don’t miss this exclusive conversation with Embeth Davidtz about her transition from actor to director, the challenges of adapting a beloved memoir, and the personal resonance of telling this story on screen.

July 03, 2025 Women's Judo Thriller Inspired by True Athletes a Powerful Sports Drama: TATAMI with directors
🏆 TATAMI – A Powerful Sports Drama | In U.S. Theaters June 2025
In a bold and timely story of defiance and human courage, TATAMI follows an Iranian judo champion who must choose between obeying her government—or fighting for her freedom on the mat.
Co-directed by Academy Award® winner Guy Nattiv and acclaimed Iranian actress Zar Amir, TATAMI is the first feature film co-directed by an Israeli and Iranian filmmaker, making history as it breaks political and cinematic barriers.
Premiering at the Venice Film Festival, this gripping sports thriller explores the cost of standing up for what’s right, even when the whole world is watching.
🎬 Starring: Zar Amir, Jamie Ray Newman, Arienne Mandi
🏆 Film Festivals: Venice Film Festival, TIFF, and more
📍 Languages: English, Farsi
📅 Now in U.S. theaters
In a tragic and timely coincidence, TATAMI hits U.S. theaters as real-world tensions between Iran and Israel unfold. But this powerful award-winning film—the first ever co-directed by Iranian and Israeli filmmakers—reminds us that personal courage can transcend political conflict.
🎬 Directed by Zar Amir (Cannes Best Actress, Holy Spider) and Guy Nattiv (Oscar-winner, Skin), TATAMI follows Leila, an Iranian judo champion pressured to fake an injury and withdraw from the world championship to avoid facing an Israeli opponent. What unfolds is a high-stakes psychological and political thriller grounded in real-world issues of oppression, resistance, and moral courage.
📽️ Shot in striking black and white, TATAMI features a commanding lead performance by Arienne Mandi, with Zar Amir also starring as Leila's coach. This is a gripping story about standing up to authoritarian control, and the personal cost of defending one’s integrity.
