New Collection: Culture Vulture

Dear Laemmle Fans,

I know that many of you have sorely missed attending our weekly Culture Vulture screenings. The series, offered on Monday evenings and Tuesday afternoons, has been a fixture of our programming for several years. Culture Vulture provides an opportunity for Laemmle Theatres to showcase the best in live concerts, stage plays, and museum visits from around the world.

Now, we’re bringing the series one step closer to you by featuring it as our newest collection on Laemmle Virtual Cinema. Although you may recognize many of the films from their prior Culture Vulture theatrical engagements, others are new releases, including the classical music documentary Women Composers (which opened on March 8 to coincide with International Women’s Day) and the art history profile Easter in Art, analyzing depictions of Christ over time. We’re also offering several virtual films that are new to Laemmle Theatres, but feature notable content you’re likely already familiar with – examples include live stage recordings of Verdi’s La Traviata as well as Puccini’s Madama Butterfly.

We all look forward to the day when Laemmle Theatres can resume our Culture Vulture series on the big screen, but I hope these virtual releases suffice in the meantime. Lastly, please be aware that many of the titles included in today’s newsletter are not yet available, so make sure to note the opening date and plan your personal screening schedules accordingly. And as always, thank you for your support.

All the best,

Greg Laemmle
