On the occasion of Pride Month and what would have been Warren Sonbert’s 79th birthday, GME presents the artist’s first two films — AMPHETAMINE and WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO? (1966) — to view for free in the Adrienne Mancia Streaming Room.

Today we recap screenings, events, and celebrations from May related to GME titles, artists, and colleagues. Notably, 1930s Hollywood classics by Ernst Lubitsch screened throughout the month at Film Forum, while early silent gems by Urban Gad and Carl Th. Dreyer were programmed for the San Francisco Silent Film Festival and accompanied by live musicians. Moreover, GME presented Luigi Zampa's 1947 comedy L’ONOREVOLE ANGELINA, starring Academy Award-winner Anna Magnani, in the Adrienne Mancia Streaming Room.

Two films by Warren Sonbert — Where Did Our Love Go? and Amphetamine (both 1966) — screen in Pride Month programs at the Morgan Library and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, respectively, on June 11th and 15th.

This May in the Adrienne Mancia Streaming Room, GME is pleased to present Luigi Zampa’s 1947 Italian comedy L’ONOREVOLE ANGELINA (THE HONORABLE ANGELINA), starring Academy Award-winner Anna Magnani.

Adrienne Mancia was a fierce champion of Italian cinema. In 1988, she received Italy’s highest civilian honor, the Croce del la Repubblica. On the occasion of this award, Renato Pachetti, then-president of RAI Corporation (New York), remarked: “Adrienne Mancia has probably contributed more than any other person to the introduction of Italian cinema in America. Her knowledge of Italian films is extraordinary.” Gian Paolo Cresci, then-president of SACIS (Rome), the worldwide distribution wing of RAI, echoed Pachetti: “Adrienne Mancia’s generosity and energy have made her a special friend to the members of the Italian film community. No one is more deserving of this special honor.”

Today we recap screenings, events, and celebrations from April related to GME titles, artists, and colleagues. Notably, GME licensed a number of photographs by Hugh Bell, whose photographic legacy we represent. Films that GME distributes on DSL, DVD, and Blu-Ray to academic and cultural institutions screened at Anthology Film Archives as well as the 2026 Turner Classic Movies Film Festival. GME also announced our DSL distribution of Ernst Lubitsch’s THE LOVES OF PHARAOH and four, recently restored experimental films by Roger Jacoby.

Roger Jacoby (1944—1985) was a pioneering experimental filmmaker whose wildly improvisational, hand-processed works showcased a painterly and diaristic approach and, in his last films, a fervent political consciousness. His filmmaking career spanned from 1972 until his untimely death due to complications from AIDS in 1985, during which he completed eight films. Gartenberg Media is pleased to distribute four of these films — 1974’s DREAM SPHINX OPERA, 1976’s L’AMICO FRIED’S GLAMOROUS FRIENDS, 1980’s HOW TO BE A HOMOSEXUAL PART I, and Jacoby’s final film, 1982’s HOW TO BE A HOMOSEXUAL PART II — as Digital Site Licenses to academic and cultural institutions worldwide. These titles were recently restored by the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive through the National Film Preservation Foundation’s Avant-Garde Masters Grant.

Today we recap screenings, events, and celebrations from March related to GME titles, artists, and colleagues. A number of films by filmmakers that GME distributes screened at various venues in New York City and internationally, including The Museum of Modern Art, Metrograph, Light Industry, and the International Short Film Festival Oberhausen. GME also announced a number of new titles for DSL and/or DVD distribution, including Abigail Child’s prismatic triptych THE SUBURBAN TRILOGY and Paula Gaitán’s experimental documentary DAYS IN SINTRA.

Gartenberg Media is pleased to present Ernst Lubitsch's landmark work of German silent cinema, 1922's THE LOVES OF PHARAOH, as a Digital Site License, now available to North American academic institutions.

On the occasion of Women’s History Month in March, GME is pleased to present four short films by pioneering women filmmakers that foreground the human body, particularly within the context of dance and movement.

We are honored to show these films in the Adrienne Mancia Streaming Room. Mancia, a legendary exhibition curator at MoMA, spent her career championing the work of such female cineastes as Shirley Clarke, Agnès Varda, and Maya Deren. Deren’s late-1950s presentation of her magnum opus MESHES OF THE AFTERNOON (1943) proved a particularly formative experience for Mancia. Therefore, we offer Deren’s final work, the dreamlike dance film THE VERY EYE OF NIGHT (1959), alongside rare behind-the-scenes footage of Deren shooting the film, as seen in an excerpt from Martina Kudláček’s 2001 documentary IN THE MIRROR OF MAYA DEREN. We are also pleased to present INTROSPECTION (1941), the debut film of a long-overlooked contemporary of Deren’s, Sara Kathryn-Arledge. Finally, we offer Stella Simon’s vanguard 1927 short HANDE, made in collaboration with Miklos Bandy.

Today we recap screenings, events, and celebrations from February related to GME titles, artists, and colleagues. A number of artists and filmmakers that GME distributes were featured in screenings around New York City and internationally, at such venues as Anthology Film Archives, e-Flux Screening Room, and the Berlin International Film Festival. The GME team also attended The Film-Makers’ Cooperative’s 65th anniversary gala benefit at Judson Memorial Church. Additionally, we welcomed a new omnibus film, commissioned by the Asian Film Archive, into our library for digital distribution to academic and cultural institutions worldwide.
