September 2024 Roundup Related to GME Titles, Artists, and Colleagues

Today we recap the numerous screenings, events, and celebrations from October — in New York City and beyond — related to GME titles, artists, and colleagues. Notably, GME President Jon Gartenberg collaborated with Elena Rossi-Snook to curate a program of films dealing with sex and censorship that screened at the New York Public Library. Additionally, a number of titles that GME distributes to North American universities appeared in screenings mounted by several noteworthy institutions last month, including the Harvard Film Archive, Metrograph, Light Industry, and the Film-Makers’ Cooperative.

Warren Sonbert's Magnum Opus CARRIAGE TRADE Plays at the Centre Pompidou

Today, Warren Sonbert’s film CARRIAGE TRADE — which the artist himself described as his “magnum opus” — will screen at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Sonbert’s film plays in their exhibition A History of Cinema, which “draws an alternative narrative to the dominant cinematic canons and constitutes the founding moment of the Museum’s film collection.” CARRIAGE TRADE is currently distributed on 16mm by the Film-Makers’ Cooperative in New York, Canyon Cinema in San Francisco, and Light Cone in Paris. GME is the custodian of Sonbert’s legacy and proud to represent his significant body of work.
