UPDATED: GME GEM 14 - Curators Jon Gartenberg and David Deitch are featured in Ken Jacobs’ 3D Occupy Wall Street film, BLANKETS FOR INDIANS screened at Anthology Film Archives 6/14
/The title alludes to the smallpox-infested blankets that were given as gifts to the original inhabitants of this continent by Europeans. This movie shows dissenters to the American mission marching down New York’s lower Broadway to gather at Zuccotti Park where the Occupy Wall Street kids were standing their ground. We live close to where the crowd turned onto Broadway and swept us along.
As supporters of this artist’s important film work, Gartenberg Media produced Jacobs’ film, CYCLOPEAN #3D: LIFE WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN (2012), through the Experimental Filmmakers Production Fund.
