Episode 163: Louise Henderson and Daniel Arthur Jacobson, KanKan Cinema and Brasserie

Until now, the only place to watch independent films year-round was at the mall. On this week’s episode, we learn the story of the KanKan, Indianapolis’ first arthouse cinema, from Executive Director Louise Henderson and Director of Programing Daniel Arthur Jacobson. Louise’s love of film began while she was dating her husband. They were not of age to drink, so they spent many evenings at the theater. Meanwhile, Daniel grew up passionate about producing movies and videos, which steered his career away from teaching math and towards film. The idea for Indianapolis’ first arthouse cinema began with Daniel and his friends starting the pop-up cinema Public House supported by Big Car Collaborative. At the time, Tom and Ed Battista were both on Big Car Collaborative’s board and happened to be looking for property to host independent local films. When they met at a board meeting, they recognized that they had the right resources and people to start the KanKan. Especially with Louise’s extensive background in film festival execution, non-profit leadership, and production experience that included an Oscar short-listed live action short, WINTER NIGHT. Press play as Louise and Daniel share how the KanKan has operated online while its opening week was shut down due to mandatory quarantining, how arthouse cinemas are essential for providing a diverse perspective in film for communities, and how the KanKan is integrating into the Windsor Park neighborhood. Drink deep of the culture that surrounds you this week with Louise Henderson and Daniel Arthur Jacobson of the KanKan.
