Such a great night at the Carsey Wolf Center with Greg Laemmle and moderator Ross Melnick. Screening of our movie Only In Theaters— and then we got interviewed for their wonderful podcast! Fun to be on the other side of things.
Thank you to CarseyWolf Research, Emily Zinn and the small army of folks who made it possible. UC Santa Barbara

New Episode launch: STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE!
Media consolidation is accelerating. Fewer owners. Fewer voices.
From the rise of the “Orbán playbook” to the possibility of major outlets like CNN and 60 Minutes falling under shared corporate control, the future of journalism is shifting fast. The question is no longer hypothetical: who controls the story—and who gets left out?
In this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we explore that question through the lens of STEAL THIS STORY, PLEASE!, a powerful new documentary about Amy Goodman and Democracy Now!
For over three decades, Amy Goodman has challenged power, amplified unheard voices, and pursued the truth—no matter the cost. Oscar-nominated filmmakers Tia Lessin and Carl Deal take us inside that mission, offering an intimate portrait of one of the most fearless journalists of our time.
We’re joined by Tia Lessin, Carl Deal, and Amy Goodman herself to discuss the film, the state of media today, and what’s at stake for the future of independent journalism.
If you care about truth, media, and who shapes the narrative—this conversation is essential.

In this clip from INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, the star of the powerful film SHTTL, Moshe Lobel, reflects on the uncanny moment he first read the script and realized how deeply the character mirrored his own life experiences.
What begins as a conversation about acting becomes something far more personal. The actor shares emotional reflections about identity, memory, and the rare moment when a role feels as if it was written specifically for you.
This candid behind-the-scenes conversation offers a fascinating look at the connection between an actor and a character, and how personal history can shape a performance.

In this episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, we speak with the filmmakers behind the Oscar-nominated documentary Mr. Nobody Against Putin. The film follows a Russian schoolteacher who secretly documents how propaganda and authoritarian ideology are imposed inside Russia’s education system following the invasion of Ukraine.
What begins as quiet observation becomes an act of defiance, as one man risks his safety to reveal how the state shapes truth, history, and patriotism for the next generation. The filmmakers discuss the dangers of documenting life inside Russia, the ethics of filming under surveillance, and how documentary cinema can expose systems of power.

In this INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE clip, director Hlynur Pálmason reflects on THE LOVE THAT REMAINS and the tension between love and the brutality of everyday life.
He discusses how the film resists illusion and sentimentality, instead observing relationships with honesty, restraint, and emotional clarity.
Pálmason speaks about love as something shaped by time, labor, and circumstance, less an ideal than a practice, and how this perspective informs the emotional core of the film.
The conversation offers insight into his approach of portraying intimacy without romance or easy resolution.

New episode launches tomorrow! The Sundance Film Festival is back. And with the festival, we can expect stories in the news about the latest "big" acquisition of premiering films. But while the headlines focus on the acquisition price, we want to understand what's going on beyond the number. How do these deals get done -- and more importantly -- what happens with the 99% of films that DON'T get picked up for distribution in a bidding war. To learn more about how films get from production to distribution, we sat down with industry veteran Gary Rubin.
