December 2023 Roundup Related to GME Titles, Artists, and Colleagues

Happy New Year from Gartenberg Media Enterprises! As we ring in 2024, we’re reflecting on screenings, events, and celebrations from last month, in New York City and beyond, related to colleagues of GME, as well as films and/or filmmakers in our collection that we distribute to the North American university market. Notably, a mid-’60s sci-fi flick by Jean-Luc Godard returned to the big screen, while the Film-Makers’ Cooperative hosted a two-night benefit screening of an infamous Andy Warhol film — which GME President Jon Gartenberg was instrumental in rediscovering, in the mid-1980s, while working at The Museum of Modern Art.
