New Digital Copies of Early Warren Sonbert Films Screened at CINEINFINITO Santander, Spain
/Warren Sonbert’s HALL OF MIRRORS (1966), THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL (1967), and THE TENTH LEGION (1967) were recently presented in the Cineinfinito #165: Warren Sonbert program at Centro Cultural Doctor Madrazo. The 2K DCP versions of these films were prepared by Light Cone, the European distributor of the films of Warren Sonbert in both 16mm and several now as digital versions, which are also available exclusively to the North American educational market by Gartenberg Media via GME Streamline. A total of five early Sonbert titles (the above 3 plus AMPHETAMINE and WHERE DID OUR LOVE GO?, both from 1966), are available as downloadable 2K DSL files from GME. THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL and THE TENTH LEGION will each be presented soon on GME Streamline as part of the Warren Sonbert Collection, also as free streams for a limited time.
The Estate of Warren Sonbert has previously named GME as the custodian of the legacy of experimental filmmaker Warren Sonbert (1947-1995). Since his untimely passing, GME has worked on an extensive project to preserve, distribute and curate career retrospectives of his films on an international basis, as well as publish original documents from the paper archive of his writings, which are now housed at Harvard University.
Stay tuned for new 2K downloadable DSL files of THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL (1967) and THE TENTH LEGION (1967) to be added to the Warren Sonbert Collection to complete the GME Streamline program of his early films.
