🎧 Inside the Arthouse: Embeth Davidtz on Her Stunning Directorial Debut — Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight In this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we spotlight one of the most powerful new films of the year: DON’T LET’S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT. Based on the bestselling memoir by Alexandra Fuller, this emotionally charged coming-of-age drama marks the directorial debut of acclaimed actress Embeth Davidtz (Schindler’s List, Junebug). Set in 1970s Zimbabwe during the final days of white colonial rule, the story follows young Bobo — portrayed with incredible subtlety by newcomer Lexi Venter — as she navigates family upheaval and political unrest in a land on the brink of transformation. Drawing on her own childhood in apartheid South Africa, Davidtz brings unmatched emotional depth and authenticity to this literary adaptation — which debuted to critical acclaim at both Telluride and Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). 🎬 The film opens July 11 in New York and Los Angeles with a national release to follow. 🎙️ Don’t miss this exclusive conversation with Embeth Davidtz about her transition from actor to director, the challenges of adapting a beloved memoir, and the personal resonance of telling this story on screen. 👉 Subscribe for more conversations with the world’s most exciting independent filmmakers. @EmbethDavidtz @SonyClassics @SonyClassics @SonyPicturesClassics Website: https://dontletsgotothedogstonight.com/ @laemmle @InsidetheArthouse @OfficialRaphaelSbarge #DontLetsGoToTheDogsTonight #EmbethDavidtz #AlexandraFuller #MemoirAdaptation #TIFF2024 #TellurideFilmFestival #ComingOfAge #AfricanCinema #ZimbabweFilm #ApartheidEra #FemaleFilmmakers #WomenInFilm #IndieFilm #ArthouseCinema #InsideTheArthouse #FilmPodcast #LexiVenter #BookToFilm #NewFilmReleases #CinemaLovers #IndependentFilm #NYCTheatricalRelease #LATheatricalRelease #FilmDiscussion #FilmmakerInterview #FirstTimeDirector #greglaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #laemmletheatres #filmdiscussion #MovieReview #NewReleases #NewFilmReleases #FilmLovers #Cinema #MoviePodcast #GregLaemmle #RaphaelSbarge #LaemmleTheatres #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 Learn more about your ad choices.
