ALL THE WILDERNESS Q&A at the NoHo

February 17, 2015 by Lamb L.

ALL THE WILDERNESS follows James, who has shut himself off from his surroundings, falling into a world of imagination and darkness. Visits with his psychiatrist have proven unhelpful – though he takes a liking to fellow patient, Val. As James begins to rebel against his single mother, he ventures into the night where he meets a mysterious kid who welcomes him into an eccentric city. Relationships are put to the test as James navigates unfamiliar territory, wrestling with the reality of his own personal wilderness.

We are pleased to open ALL THE WILDERNESS this Friday at the NoHo 7. ALL THE WILDERNESS writer-director Michael Johnson and the film’s producers will participate in a Q&A after the 7:40 PM screening at the NoHo on Saturday, February 21.

Shakespeare’s Globe on Screen 2015: Take a Behind-the-Scenes Look at the New Season

February 10, 2015 by Lamb L.

Celebrating its fifth fantastic year, Globe On Screen returns in 2015 to Laemmle’s Culture Vulture series with a brand new season of sell-out performances and captivating theatre from the London home of Shakespeare.

Globe On Screen offers audiences a ticket to the best seat in the house from the comfort of a your nearest Laemmle Theater and the chance to experience the unique magic of the world-famous Globe, all captured in high definition and full surround sound.

The fifth season contains five thrilling new productions, featuring the critically-acclaimed The Duchess of Malfi (March 2 and 3) starring Gemma Arterton, the inaugural production in the new candlelit Jacobean theatre at Shakespeare’s Globe, the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Other productions include four shows from the Globe’s Summer 2014 ‘Arms and the Man’ season: Globe Artistic Director Dominic Dromgoole’s sold-out envisioning of Roman classic Julius Caesar (May 4 and 5); an iconic struggle between love and duty in Antony & Cleopatra (June 15 and 16); the return of Lucy Bailey’s notoriously bloody Titus Andronicus (March 30 and 31), and the uproariously chaotic The Comedy of Errors June 29 and 30). (And while we’re on the subject of live theater, we’ll also have screenings of the stage musical version of From Here to Eternity on April 13 and 14.)

To whet your appetite for the Globe’s new season, watch this five-minute behind-the-scenes look:

BRASSLANDS Screens this Monday and Tuesday; the MUDBUG BRASS BAND will perform at the Music Hall Monday Night.

February 4, 2015 by Lamb L.

A tiny Serbian village explodes with brass cacophony and riotous celebration as more than half a million music fans descend upon Guča, the world’s largest trumpet competition. Amidst a cast of defending Serbian champions and struggling Roma Gypsies, an unlikely brass band from New York City, Zlatne Uste, voyages to represent the United States only a decade after NATO bombs rocked Belgrade. They will be the first Americans ever to compete at Guča. BRASSLANDS offers an intimate and sometimes unsettling portrait of how the hopes and fears of this diverse group of characters collide in their search for common ground and musical ecstasy.

Laemmle Theatres will be screening BRASSLANDS this Monday, February 9 at 7:30 PM and Tuesday, February 10 at 1 PM as part of its Culture Vulture film series. To celebrate the music profiled in BRASSLANDS, L.A.’s own MUDBUG BRASS BAND will be at the Music Hall Monday night to perform their super-fun New Orleans-style brass-based jazz!

Indiewire ~ “GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM: One Film That Could Change the Course of Women’s Rights in Israel”

January 30, 2015 by Lamb L.

An Israeli woman (Ronit Elkabetz) seeking to finalize a divorce (gett) from her estranged husband finds herself effectively put on trial by her country’s religious marriage laws, in GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM, a powerhouse courtroom drama from sibling directors Shlomi and Ronit Elkabetz. Laemmle Theatres opens the film at the Royal on February 13, the Playhouse, Town Center 5 and Claremont 5 on February 20 and the NoHo 7 on February 27.

In Israel, there is neither civil marriage nor civil divorce; only Orthodox rabbis can legalize a union or its dissolution, which is only possible with the husband’s full consent. Women can’t contact an LA divorce lawyer, for example, to end the marriage it has to be the husband who makes the decision. Trapped in a loveless marriage, Viviane Amsalem has been applying for a divorce for three years but her religiously devout husband Elisha, continually refuses. His cold intransigence, Viviane’s determination to fight for her freedom, and the ambiguous role of the rabbinical judges shape a procedure where tragedy vies with absurdity and everything is brought out into the open for judgment.

What’s more, as reported by Indiewire, the film is having real-world effects in Israel, prompting religious authorities to reevaluate their positions on divorce. Check out this short interview with the filmmakers reacting to the news:
