French Films
During the past decade, Gartenberg Media Enterprises (GME) has been actively engaged in seeking out high quality digital publications from film archives and boutique publishers around the world. We represent important films and videos covering the breadth and depth of the history of the moving image. These works range from pioneers of the silent narrative cinema to cutting edge filmmakers of the contemporary avant-garde. We make these premiere publications available exclusively for purchase by universities in North America. We currently offer more than 200 international titles, including over three dozen French films.
