GME News
This past month saw the work of several filmmakers distributed by GME programmed in venues in the U.S. and abroad. It is a reminder of both the durability of these artists and their works and the ongoing interest in the kinds of notable independent and experimental moving image work that GME strives to provide to our buyers.

For more than 20 years, Gartenberg Media Enterprises has partnered with Re:voir in making available a diverse and fragile body of experimental and independent films, both classic and contemporary, that merits exposure to a wider audience. We have kept current with the technological changes in formats for the delivery of these cutting edge works to our educational clients, first by releasing editions of Re:voir publications in VHS, then DVD, and now, in high quality digital files as digital site licenses.
Read MoreGartenberg Media wishes the best for our university colleagues in these trying times. Due to the sudden advent of remote teaching beginning in March, we decided to suspend our announcement of our spring semester DVD releases until the fall of 2020. Nevertheless we are fully prepared to fulfill prospective orders to the academic community from our entire catalog of more than 200 titles. For a complete list of our DVD/Blu-ray titles and pricing, please click here. There are live links from each title to its individual web page description. We thought this listing would be helpful for university librarians who need to expend their budgets before the end of this academic year in May, as well as for professors anticipating teaching material for their fall curricula.
Read MoreDuring this semester, Gartenberg Media Enterprises has offered an extensive slate of new DVD and Blu-ray publications for distribution to the North American academic community. These digital editions were selected from film archives and boutique publishers worldwide, and represent the entire breadth and depth of moving image history. They encompassed trick films by George Méliès, dating from the 1890s, through to 21st Century experimental filmmakers working in both France and the United States, including Jacques Perconte, Jeff Scher, and Robert Todd.
Read MoreIn the experimental realm, we are proud to feature short form moving image works by Robert Todd (1963-2018) and Jacques Perconte (b. 1974). Both of them are master artisans of the landscape film. Todd shot and assembled his movies exclusively in the 16mm analog format, creating abstraction through the play of light and shadow; Perconte works in a digital environment where he manipulates pixels to create abstract effects. These two DVD releases thus serve as companion works for study and appreciation by the academic community.
