From the directors of HALLELUJAH: LEONARD COHEN, A JOURNEY, A SONG comes a new portrait of a man who was somehow at the center of everything — and never quite in the frame.

In PETER ASHER: EVERYWHERE MAN, directors Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine trace the extraordinary life of a man who seemed to move quietly through the center of everything.

As one half of the singing duo Peter & Gordon, Asher was swept into the British Invasion with songs written by Paul McCartney. At Apple Records, he helped shape the early career of James Taylor. And in the decades that followed, he became one of the defining behind-the-scenes forces in American music — producing and guiding artists including Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, Bonnie Raitt, Barbra Streisand, and many more.

But PETER ASHER: EVERYWHERE MANis not simply a portrait of proximity to greatness. It is a film about listening. About taste, trust, collaboration, and the often invisible work of helping artists find the truest version of their own voice.

Blending musical memoir, documentary, live performance, and a remarkable archive of songs and stories, the film invites us to look again at how culture is made — not only by the people standing center stage, but by those just beside them, shaping the sound, the moment, and sometimes the memory itself.

In THE CURRENTS, acclaimed Argentine-Swiss filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler invites us into the mystery of a woman suddenly, inexplicably, set adrift.

There is a moment early in the film when Lina, an Argentinian designer visiting Switzerland, stands at a window and looks out at a river — and something shifts. Not dramatically. Quietly. The way a life can change before you have even found the words for it.

Soon after, Lina survives a mysterious plunge into that icy river. She returns home to Buenos Aires a different woman: unable to explain what happened, and unwilling to pretend that nothing has changed.

What follows is not a conventional mystery, but an intimate psychological journey — dreamlike and quietly unsettling — about identity, memory, exile, and the parts of ourselves we try to leave behind.

Mumenthaler is one of the essential voices in contemporary Latin American cinema. Her films — Back to Stay, The Idea of a Lake, and now THE CURRENTS — share an uncommon quality: they trust silence. They trust the body. They trust the audience to feel before they understand.

Join us for a conversation with filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler about her haunting new film, THE CURRENTS, on INSIDE THE ARTHOUSE, starting now.  

MARAMA — the haunting new film from New Zealand — is not easy to describe… and that’s exactly the point.

Filmmaker Taratoa Stappard calls it a “Māori Gothic ghost story.” One of its stars goes further: Jane Eyre on a bad acid trip.

What unfolds is something far more unsettling — and unforgettable.

Set in 1859, MARAMA follows a young Māori woman who journeys to England in search of her past… only to uncover a brutal truth tied to colonial violence, stolen culture, and a legacy that refuses to stay buried.

But this isn’t just a period drama. And it’s not just horror.

It’s a story of transformation, as its central character breaks free from the constraints of empire and reclaims her identity, her voice, and ultimately, her power.

At the center is a breakout performance by Ariāna Osborne — raw, physical, and fearless — anchoring a film that builds toward something both terrifying and deeply cathartic.

What makes MARAMA hit differently is that it’s personal. Stappard draws from his own Māori and English heritage to tell a story about a history that isn’t past — and the cost of finally confronting it.

It’s bold. It’s provocative. And it’s unlike anything else in the current film landscape.

We sat down with Taratoa Stappard to talk about the origins of the film, the risks he took, and why this story needed to be told now.
