🎬 Inside the Arthouse: NORTHERN LIGHTS — Rob Nilsson on the Cannes-Winning Indie Masterpiece, Now Restored in 4K In this special episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with Rob Nilsson, co-director of the groundbreaking 1979 film NORTHERN LIGHTS—winner of the prestigious Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Hailed as “the greatest movie you will never see,” this stunning indie gem has been lovingly revived by IndieCollect and is now re-released in a stunning 4K restoration by Kino Lorber, playing in select US arthouse theaters. NORTHERN LIGHTS tells the poignant story of young love set against the backdrop of a powerful political movement—Midwestern farmers rising up against the grain trade, railroad monopolies, and banks in the early 20th century. Shot in rich, black-and-white 16mm, the film evokes the feel of a long-lost photograph, capturing the stark beauty of the Northern Plains and a forgotten chapter of American history. We discuss how this rare and remarkable film came to be, its legacy, and what it means to see it back on the big screen. 🎧 Subscribe and listen as filmmaker Rob Nilsson shares never-before-heard insights into the making of this landmark indie feature.  @kinolorber   @laemmle @officialRaphaelSbarge BehindTheScenes #FilmDiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #WatermelonPictures #FilmDistribution #MovieIndustry #FilmBusiness Video Podcast Independent Film / Indie Film Arthouse Film / Arthouse Movie Film Lovers / Cinema New Movie Releases / New Film Releases Repertory Cinema / Classic Films / Classic Movies Filmmaker Interviews / Filmmakers (Directors, Writers, Producers) Film Distributors / Film Distribution Movie Industry / Film Business / Movie Business Behind-the-Scenes Insights Film Discussion / Movie Reviews / Film Analysis Greg Laemmle / Raphael Sbarge Laemmle Theatre Northern Lights 1979 Cannes Film Festival Camera d'Or Indie film Independent film Rob Nilsson (co-director) Film restoration 4K restoration IndieCollect Kino Lorber Arthouse film Black and white film American history film Political struggle (film theme) Farmers movement (film theme) Grain trade (film theme) Banks (film theme) Railroads (film theme) Northern Plains (setting) Forgotten historyLost film Rare film Landmark film #InsideTheArthouse #FilmPodcast #IndieFilmHistory #AmericanCinema #RobNilsson #NorthernLightsFilm #CannesWinner #IndieCollect #KinoLorber #FilmRestoration #4KRestoration #ArthouseCinema #ForgottenFilms #ClassicIndie #CinemaHistory #FilmmakerInterview #PoliticalCinema #IndependentFilmPodcast #NorthernLightsMovie #RobNilsson #CameraDOrWinner #CannesFilmFestival #IndieFilm #IndependentFilm #KinoLorber #IndieCollect #ClassicMovies #FilmRestoration #BlackAndWhiteCinema #ForgottenAmericanHistory #PoliticalDrama #FarmersMovement #ArthouseFilm #1979Cinema #InsideTheArthouse #FilmmakerInterview #RareFilms #CinemaLovers Learn more about your ad choices.
