October 25, 2019/ Jon Gartenberg

The Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection has been reinstalled in radical fashion, opening up the narrative of modern art to incorporate film alongside the other fine arts, among them painting, drawing, and photography. GME distributes many of these canonical works in DVD exclusively to universities in North America, in order to further their appreciation and incorporation into teaching curricula.

October 03, 2019/ Jon Gartenberg

Filmmakers Nicolás Pereda and Pedro Neves Marques will attend the Q&A both nights with their short feature MY SKIN, LUMINOUS (2019, 39 minutes), a shape-shifting docufiction that weaves its real-life subject into a subtly unfolding drama, and which speaks to the wider ongoing reforms to Mexico’s public school system.

Hou Hsiao-hsien's THREE TIMES at Film at Lincoln Center series 50th Mixtape: Free Double Features on September 5th

September 04, 2019/ Jon Gartenberg

This rapturously beautiful 2005 feature by Hou Hsiao-hsien is a triumph about the melancholy play of time and memory. The action is broken into three different love stories, each set in a different era—a 1966 pool hall, a prosperous 1911 brothel, and contemporary Taipei—but starring the same leads, the impossibly glamorous Shu Qi and Chang Chen.

August 19, 2019/ Jon Gartenberg

Jonas Mekas on his film THIS SIDE OF PARADISE (1999): "I had the fortune to spend some time, mostly during the summers, with Jackie Kennedy's and her sister Lee Radziwill's families and children. Cinema was an integral, inseparable, as a matter of fact, a key part of our friendship."

August 14, 2019/ Jon Gartenberg

Light Industry presents an evening devoted to Lis Rhodes, occasioned by “Telling Invents Told”, a new collection of her writings published by The Visible Press and edited by María Palacios Cruz. Rhodes was one of the key figures to emerge from the London Film-Makers’ Co-operative in the 1970s. In her films the site of female subjectivity is analyzed like a crime scene.

Short Films by Charlie Chaplin at Anthology Film Archives

August 07, 2019/ Jon Gartenberg

It is stupid to treat Charlie as a clown of genius. If there had never been a cinema he would undoubtedly have been a clown of genius, but the cinema has allowed him to raise the comedy of circus and music hall to the highest aesthetic level. Chaplin needed the medium of the cinema to free comedy completely from the limits of space and time imposed by the stage or the circus arena. The best Chaplin films can be seen over and over again with no loss of pleasure – indeed the very opposite is the case.

Two GME titles included in Film at Lincoln Center series Another Country: Outsider Visions of America

August 05, 2019/ Jon Gartenberg

Werner Schroeter’s only U.S. production, WILLOW SPRINGS (1973) and Jean-Marie Straub & Danièle Huillet’s CLASS RELATIONS (KLASSENVERHÄLTNISSE) (West Germany, 1984) among the most incisive observations about the United States have been made by those born beyond its shores. In these films, and others in this series, one encounters many Americas, perspectives on a nation that reveal the peculiarities of its customs, the drama of its natural splendor, and the lacerating contradictions of its political mythologies.
