GME is proud to announce our partnership with the Jack Mitchell archive granting us exclusive representation of the Jack Mitchell archive for placement of the collection with a cultural institution and for high profile exhibitions of his work.

His stunning portraits of virtually every major figure in the Arts graced the pages of the Times, as well as myriad other national and international publications.

July 15, 2021/ Jon Gartenberg

As part of this developing venture, GME Streamline is pleased to remind interested professors and librarians of GME's curated collection of DVD publications from Edition Filmmuseum - Vienna, all of which we now make available as DVD/DSL bundles. The Austrian Film Museum in Vienna was founded in 1964 by Peter Konlechner (1936–2016) and film artist Peter Kubelka (b. 1934). From its outset, the principal aims of the institution were the high-quality preservation and public presentation of film, as well as reaffirming the two important roles of cinema in society: as the most important form of artistic expression in modernity and as the chief historiographical source of the 20th century.
