INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE with Greg Laemmle & Raphael Sbarge episodes

July 02, 2025 Top Honors at The Venice Film Festival "Familiar Touch" Kathleen Chalfant & Director Sarah Friedland
In the powerful new indie film FAMILIAR TOUCH, award-winning actress Kathleen Chalfant (known for The Affair, Angels in America) stars as Ruth, a fiercely independent octogenarian navigating the move into a memory care facility. Her body may be relocating, but her mind travels freely—often beyond what her family can comprehend.
Written and directed by Sarah Friedland, and inspired by her personal experience as a caregiver, FAMILIAR TOUCH redefines what a film about aging, dementia, and memory loss can be. With warmth, humor, and honesty, Friedland crafts a unique “coming-of-age” story in later life—one that avoids clichés and brings fresh emotional depth.
Shot on location in a real retirement community—with residents and staff participating both on and off screen—FAMILIAR TOUCH offers a rare level of authenticity. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it won Best Director and Best Actress, and is now opening in theaters across the U.S.

July 01, 2025 Inside the Iconic Sunset 5 Tales from 40 Years in Indie Cinema w/ Roger Christensen Arthouse History
Step behind the curtain of indie film history in this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, as we sit down with Roger Christensen, a true insider and longtime champion of arthouse cinema. With over 40 years in the movie theater business—most notably as general manager of the legendary Sunset 5 in West Hollywood—Roger shares untold stories from the heart of the LA indie film scene.
During his time at the Sunset 5, Roger was on the front lines when groundbreaking films from Todd Haynes, Lisa Cholodenko, and Doug Liman premiered—shaping what would become modern indie cinema. He was also there for the unexpected cult rise of THE ROOM by Tommy Wiseau, a film as infamous as it is beloved.
In this conversation, we go behind the scenes of what it takes to run an arthouse theater, and hear the war stories, weird moments, and joyful surprises that come with showing films that challenge, inspire, and sometimes baffle audiences. From fading movie palaces to modern multiplexes, the story of Sunset 5 is the story of film history in transition—and the people who keep it alive.
🎥 Whether you’re a fan of independent film, curious about the hidden history of Los Angeles cinemas, or just love a good story from the projection booth, this episode is a must-watch.

May 22, 2025 Cannes Winner, Lost Indie Gem Restored in 4K: Northern Lights a discussion with Rob Nilsson Director
🎬 Inside the Arthouse: NORTHERN LIGHTS — Rob Nilsson on the Cannes-Winning Indie Masterpiece, Now Restored in 4K
In this special episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with Rob Nilsson, co-director of the groundbreaking 1979 film NORTHERN LIGHTS—winner of the prestigious Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Hailed as “the greatest movie you will never see,” this stunning indie gem has been lovingly revived by IndieCollect and is now re-released in a stunning 4K restoration by Kino Lorber, playing in select US arthouse theaters.
NORTHERN LIGHTS tells the poignant story of young love set against the backdrop of a powerful political movement—Midwestern farmers rising up against the grain trade, railroad monopolies, and banks in the early 20th century. Shot in rich, black-and-white 16mm, the film evokes the feel of a long-lost photograph, capturing the stark beauty of the Northern Plains and a forgotten chapter of American history.
We discuss how this rare and remarkable film came to be, its legacy, and what it means to see it back on the big screen.
🎧 Subscribe and listen as filmmaker Rob Nilsson shares never-before-heard insights into the making of this landmark indie feature.

May 13, 2025 The Return of the Romantic Comedy: Jane Austin Wrecked My Life: with Director/Writer Laura Piani
🎙️ New Episode: "Jane Austen Wrecked My Life" – A Smart, Modern Twist on Austen-Inspired Romance 💌
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen continues to inspire some of the most beloved films of all time—from faithful adaptations like the Oscar-winning Sense & Sensibility and Pride & Prejudice, to modern classics like Clueless (inspired by Emma), and fan-favorite Austen-adjacent titles like The Jane Austen Book Club, Austenland, and Cold Comfort Farm.
Now, a delightful new entry joins that tradition: JANE AUSTEN WRECKED MY LIFE, a witty and heartfelt romantic comedy from filmmaker Laura Piani.
Set between Paris and the English countryside, the film stars Camille Rutherford as a lovelorn Parisian bookseller who believes her chance at love has passed her by. But when she’s invited to a Jane Austen-themed writers’ retreat in England, she finds herself swept into an Austen-esque dilemma—navigating the attention of two suitors while trying to stay true to herself.
A breakout hit at the Toronto International Film Festival, Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is now opening in theaters across the United States.
🎧 On this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with writer-director Laura Piani to explore how Austen’s legacy lives on in modern cinema, the challenges of making an indie romantic comedy, and the enduring appeal of finding love when you least expect it.

May 07, 2025 A Funny, Deadpan Gem: Most People Die on Sundays A Discussion with director and star Iair Said
In this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we sit down with Argentine filmmaker Iair Said — writer, director, and star of the offbeat, unforgettable comedy MOST PEOPLE DIE ON SUNDAYS. A breakout sensation from the Cannes Film Festival (ACID section), the film explores what happens not when extraordinary people die, but when ordinary people do — and how the rest of us live on in their absence.
Blending dark humor, emotional insight, and a distinct deadpan tone reminiscent of early Jim Jarmusch, Buster Keaton, and Jacques Tati, this film follows David as he returns to Buenos Aires for his uncle’s funeral — and is swept into a surreal journey of grief, family, and transformation.
🎬 Funny, tragic, and uniquely original, Most People Die on Sundays is a must-see for indie film lovers, fans of quirky international cinema, and anyone who has experienced loss with a side of absurdity.
🎧 Join us for a revealing conversation with Iair Said as he shares how this deeply personal, comic gem came to life — only on Inside the Arthouse.
