Noshing With Raphael Sbarge – April 13, 2023

This week, Ira spoke with Raphael Sbarge, director of "Only in Theaters," a documentary about a family business and the future of cinema. In this screened episode of Ira’s Everything Bagel, Raphael talks about the fourth-generation Laemmle family (going back to the origins of Hollywood) and its challenges as an independent theater operator; why we have lost touch with what is the movie experience; how at some point the documentary tells you what it wants to be; the response of the Laemmle family to the film; and what he thinks is the future of cinema and the Laemmle family’s role in it.
