GME is proud to announce the winners of the Il Cinema Ritrovato Festival 2018 DVD awards for Best Single Release (BEHIND THE DOOR) and Best Rediscovery of a Forgotten Film (MARQUIS DE WAVRIN).

GME distributes Serge Bromberg’s HENRI GEORGES CLOUZOT’S INFERNO, a 2009 documentary based on material from Clouzot’s famous uncompleted film, THE INFERNO (1964), in a DVD edition destined for acquisition by academic institutions in North America.

True to its title, the original, 10-reel version of THE LOST WORLD effectively disappeared from circulation in 1929—all known positive prints destroyed—a move by First National Pictures to help clear the way for another film utilizing special effects and Willis O’Brien’s cutting-edge animation techniques: KING KONG. For more than 80 years, only abridged editions of THE LOST WORLD remained in existence until now. This Blu-ray edition (published by Flicker Alley, and also available in a DVD MOD version) of THE LOST WORLD is the most complete reconstruction of the film. The 2K digital restoration features newly-discovered scenes and special effect sequences, incorporating almost all original elements from archives and collections around the world.

Talented independent filmmaker Nicolás Pereda will be featured in a Special Event/interactive performance ("Nicolás Pereda’s The Private Property Trilogy”) on April 29 at the fifth edition of Art of the Real.

GME is pleased to present the release of Philippe Garrel’s MARIE POUR MÉMOIRE on DVD. This auteur is the unsung hero of the French New Wave, who only now is beginning to receive the international recognition that he is due, thanks to worldwide retrospective screenings in recent years of his work. 

The well-regarded Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema (BAFICI) runs from April 11 - 22, and will feature films by Philippe Garrel and James Benning that are distributed in DVD editions by GME

Jon Gartenberg, head of GME, speaks about his company’s adventures, working with both artists and companies, in excavating and repurposing collections of celluloid moving images and silver gelatin photographic prints.
