A hundred episodes ago, we started with a simple belief: that movies still matter most when they are shared.
Not just streamed, not just consumed, but experienced — in the dark, on a big screen, with other people, in the places where cinema still feels alive.
Since then, INSIDE THE ARTHOUSEhas become a gathering place for the people who believe in that experience: filmmakers, actors, programmers, distributors, theater owners, advocates, and film lovers who know that independent cinema is not just an art form, but an ecosystem.
For our 100th episode, we’re looking back at some of the conversations that have shaped the journey so far.
Across the show, we’ve had the privilege of speaking with Oscar winners and nominees, first-time filmmakers and legends, documentarians and historians, international auteurs and American independents. We’ve followed films from Brazil, Iceland, Palestine, Ukraine, France, Iran, Germany, Argentina, Israel, India, and Taiwan, and far beyond — sitting with stories of war and memory, music and resistance, family and grief, comedy and survival.
With so many extraordinary conversations, it is impossible to choose favorites. So for this special episode, we’re beginning with the Oscar-winning and Oscar-nominated films and filmmakers who have appeared on our show — artists whose work reminds us what independent and international cinema can still do: challenge us, move us, connect us, and stay with us long after the lights come up.
At the center of it all is the arthouse itself: the theater as a gathering place, the screen as a doorway, and cinema as one of the last great communal arts.
Join us for our 100th episode of INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, featuring conversations with Oscar winners and nominees — and a celebration of the films, filmmakers, and film communities that keep cinema alive.
