    Can Women "Have It All"? Explore Motherhood & Creativity in Anna Campbell's New Film 'NORA'

    Thomas Wolfe's poignant words, “You can’t go home again,” resonate in a new light as writer and director Anna Campbell explores the intricate balance of parenting, work, and a thriving creative life in her debut film, NORA. This powerful portrait delves into the physical and emotional pressures faced by modern mothers, showcasing one woman's journey of rediscovery. Starring Campbell herself and featuring her original music, NORA confronts the fundamental question: Can women have it all? Can they pursue their passions and artistic dreams while prioritizing family and children? Often forced to make difficult choices, mothers frequently find their own aspirations taking a backseat. Yet, art, particularly music, offers a vital outlet and inspires us to envision a world where passion and ambition are not mutually exclusive. Join us for an insightful conversation with the writer, director, and star of NORA, Anna Campbell, now on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now.        #nora #noraMovie Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatres

    Extraordinary Music, Extraordinary Life JANIS IAN: BREAKING SILENCE with director Varda Bar Kar

    As a teenage singer-songwriter from New Jersey in the mid-60’s, Janis Ian had one of the more remarkable debuts in modern music history. At 13 she scored a hit single-- "Society’s Child," about an interracial love relationship, which launched her career. She then began performing in New York City clubs with future legends, and her song writing and singing was heralded by no less than Leonard Bernstein. She would follow this with her biggest hit, “At Seventeen,” and continued a career that has spanned five decades. Winning Grammys while overcoming significant personal obstacles and producing an indelible body of music that has earned her a devoted following and critical acclaim. JANIS IAN: BREAKING THE SILENCE is a new movie about her extraordinary life, directed by Varda Bar-Kar and which lands in theaters this week. It includes interviews with Ian and her collaborators, along with Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Lily Tomlin, Jean Smart, among others. This remarkable portrait uses Ian's songbook and her turbulent life story to capture a portrait of an artist and her songs that personified a generation of American women.

    RENDEZVOUS WITH FRENCH CINEMA is an annual festival organized by the programmers at the Film Society at Lincoln Center. And since French films are such an important part of the programming mix, we decided to spend some time in the Big Apple talking to filmmakers We were able to sit down in the lobby of the fabled Film Forum theater with filmmaker Louise Courvoisier to talk about her new film HOLY COW, her Cesar-award winning debut feature. After winning a prize at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival for her short film MANO A MANO, Courvoisier returned to the Jura region in France where she grew up, and started working on a story about the hardscrabble lives of the people who make the region's renowned Comte cheese. Using non-professional actors, Courvoisier's film is a beautiful and moving look into the lives of those who work in close contact with nature to create the produce which ends up in fancy shops and restaurants around the world. You won't want to miss HOLY COW when it comes to your local arthouse, and you don't want to miss our conversation with the film's creator, starting now, on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE. @ZeitgeistFilms @laemmle @InsidetheArthouse #french #frenchcinema #holycow #director #Q&A

    A Curve Ball That Inspires in new film EEPHUS a conversation with director Carson Lund

    When is a Baseball movie, more than a movie about Baseball? As told by director Carson Lund in his debut film EEPHUS, it’s a chance to explore themes of escape, of camaraderie, and of a deep sense of time passing. Named after a rarely deployed curve ball, the "Eephus Pitch,” EEPHUS is set in suburban New Hampshire, where that stubbornly independent New England mindset informs the players as they face change, and gentrification. The film uses a mix of comedy and drama, for both the baseball connoisseur, and for anyone who's ever lamented their community slipping away. EEPHUS is a baseball story that uses a non-traditional narrative, and one that leaves you with the feeling of a lazy afternoon, tuned to the rhythms of America’s eternal pastime. Opening in theaters, having premiered at Director’s Fortnight at Cannes, please join us as we sit down with director Carson Lund on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now. @musicboxfilms #EEPHUS #eephuspitch #baseball @laemmle @InsidetheArthouse #movie #arthouse @laemmle @InsidetheArthouse ​

    A new movie lands in theaters, called THE FISHING PLACE, directed by the indie maverick Rob Tregenza. The FISHING PLACE has drawn high praise with rave reviews from Richard Brody in The New Yorker calling it, "Spectacularly conceived,” and that Tregenza is “An artisan of the highest order.” Manohla Dargis of The New York Times calls Tregenza, "An Authentic Independent who holds you rapt.” Rob Tregenza has done a bit of everything in the world of arthouse cinema. As a distributor, he brought to US cinemas works by Michael Haneke, Jacques Rivette, and Jean-Luc Godard. As a cinematographer, he shot Bela Tarr's WERCKMEISTER HARMONIES. And, as a director, his films TALKING TO STRANGERS, INSIDE/OUT and GAVAGAI drew so much critical praise that he received a retrospective tribute from the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. As THE FISHING PLACE rolls out to theaters across the US, we asked Rob to join us for a wide-ranging conversation about art and the search for meaning and beauty in cinema.
