May 2024 Roundup Related to GME Titles, Artists, and Colleagues

It’s finally June, and with the start of summer officially just around the corner, here is a recap of screenings, events, and celebrations from May, in New York City and beyond, related to GME’s multifaceted projects. Notable exhibition programs include a suite of films by Man Ray at Boston’s Brattle Theatre and a collaboration between the Film-Makers’ Cooperative and Film at Lincoln Center; both programs featured filmmakers and films GME distributes to universities in North America. Also in May, MoMA and Anthology Film Archives mounted retrospectives of the work of Warren Sonbert’s colleagues Nathaniel Dorsky and Jerome Hiler, both of whom GME featured in a compilation reel of clips from Sonbert’s films. Additionally, GME licensed three photographs from the Raimondo Borea collection for two books and a documentary film.
