In March, GME Celebrated Pioneering Women In Film

On the occasion of March being Women’s History Month, GME spotlighted numerous works by women filmmakers that we distribute on DVD, DSL, and/or Blu-Ray to the North American University Market. Most recently, GME has welcomed films by Ida Lupino, Alexandra Dean, and Suzan Pitt to our collection. Of course, many women have blazed trails in the world of cinema outside of being directors.

GME Presents The Psychological Worlds of Animation and Film Noir

GME Presents The Psychological Worlds of Animation and Film Noir

Film Noir’s stylistic devices result in claustrophobic spaces that lead to the psychological and physical demise of the Noir protagonist; for experimental animators, the cinematic canvas is one that provides liberation of the character’s psyche. These two contrasting paradigms are represented by the new digital restoration of the Noir drama TRAPPED (1949) and the compilation DVD of animation films by Suzan Pitt.
