Today we recap the numerous screenings, events, and celebrations from October — in New York City and beyond — related to GME titles, artists, and colleagues. Notably, GME President Jon Gartenberg collaborated with Elena Rossi-Snook to curate a program of films dealing with sex and censorship that screened at the New York Public Library. Additionally, a number of titles that GME distributes to North American universities appeared in screenings mounted by several noteworthy institutions last month, including the Harvard Film Archive, Metrograph, Light Industry, and the Film-Makers’ Cooperative.

ZANZIBAR Film Collective

During the volatile late 1960s in Paris, the filmmaking collective known as Zanzibar began creating outsider movies, many of which are now lost or neglected. Though all members were cinephiles, they had only modest filmmaking experience. Still, the Zanzibar films are infused with the countercultural energy and restlessness of the times, thanks to the group’s refreshing lack of experience and regard for cinematic convention. GME distributes a number of films that emerged from the Zanzibar collective on DSL and DVD to the North American institutional market. These films have continued relevance among cinephiles today; notably, Metrograph mounted the series One More Time: The Cinema of Daniel Pommereulle last month, which featured a number of Zanzibar titles that we also distribute.
