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.
