INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE with Greg Laemmle & Raphael Sbarge

by GREG LAEMMLE and RAPHAEL SBARGE

The people, films, and ideas keeping independent cinema alive. INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE is a weekly digital series and film podcast celebrating independent film, international cinema, and the filmmakers whose stories stay with us. Hosted by Greg Laemmle, president of Laemmle Theatres, and Emmy Award-winning actor and director Raphael Sbarge, the series takes audiences behind the screen for thoughtful, engaging conversations with the directors, actors, writers, producers, and creative voices shaping cinema today. From new arthouse releases and Oscar contenders to repertory classics and the changing landscape of theatrical exhibition and film distribution, each episode explores the art and craft of filmmaking, the stories behind the stories, and why experiencing movies together still matters. Whether you're a dedicated cinephile, an emerging filmmaker, an industry professional, or simply searching for your next unforgettable film, INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE welcomes you into a community that believes cinema is more than content—it's one of our most vital art forms.
