Gartenberg Media Enterprises previously announced the sale of new 2K digital restorations of Warren Sonbert’s early films for acquisition by universities, museums, and other cultural institutions worldwide.

Sonbert’s early films — spanning 1966’s AMPHETAMINE through to 1973’s CARRIAGE TRADE — are also now available for rental on digital formats for the first time from The Film-Makers’ Cooperative, where the artist originally distributed his films on 16mm beginning in the 1960s. The return of these films to this historic organization will therefore be a “homecoming” for Sonbert. Stay tuned for the launch of this touring package, premiering at The Film-Makers' Cooperative on November 15th.

These seven early films can be rented from the Film-Makers’ Cooperative individually. Five of those films (AMPHETAMINE, WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO?, HALL OF MIRRORS, THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL, and CARRIAGE TRADE) can also be rented together as a touring package.

Photographer Jack Mitchell would have turned 100 years old in 2025. In recognition of the centennial of this creative and historically significant artist, GME now offers a series of readymade exhibitions that showcase Mitchell’s extensive photographic oeuvre.

Over the course of his half-century professional career, Mitchell documented a vast array of artists in the fields of music, dance, theatre, literature, and the fine arts. No exhibition encapsulates this history better than Jack Mitchell: Artists, which features over 50 silver gelatin and color photographs of noteworthy American visual, musical, and literary talents. This show first opened on May 16, 2021, at the Adtran, Jurenko & Thurber Galleries at the Huntsville Museum of Art, and is currently available to galleries, museums, and other cultural institutions both in the U.S. and abroad.
