GME Staff Visits Jewish Museum’s Jonas Mekas Exhibit
/Jon, David and Fred recently visited Jonas Mekas: The Camera Was Always Running exhibition at the Jewish Museum to experience the multi-screen installation of this major filmmaking and cultural figure, who is also a central artist in GME’s DVD and DSL distribution and clip licensing portfolio.
In addition to the DVD editions of The Films of Jonas Mekas that GME has long distributed to our institutional buyers, we have recently also made available high quality downloadable .mp4 files of his films for digital site licenses (DSL) to our university clientele, including the recent release of REMINISCENCES OF A JOURNEY TO LITHUANIA (1972) (included in 3 JOURNEYS TO LITHUANIA). GME recently licensed clips from Jonas Mekas’s films for Todd Haynes’ documentary on the Velvet Underground.
