LGBTQ+ Films and Filmmakers

Beginning in the 1980s, Queer Studies became popular in academic curricula and has resulted, over the ensuing decades, in a body of literature about films and filmmakers viewed through this lens. In honor of LGBTQ+ History Month, GME highlights an array of moving image works that we distribute (both classic and contemporary) by LGBTQ+ artists and/or about topics and themes relevant to the LGBTQ+ community. These works are available to academic institutions in North America, and are distributed in collaboration withIndex Edition, Re:Voir Video, Flicker Alley, MētisPresses, Kino Lorber, and Edition Filmmuseum.

Revisiting Ken Jacobs' CYCLOPEAN 3D for Home Movie Day

For last year’s Home Movie Day, GME highlighted Hollywood icon Rock Hudson, who appears in Mark Rappaport’s found footage video essay ROCK HUDSON’S HOME MOVIES. This year, we turn our attention to an avant-garde icon, Ken Jacobs, whose experimental “home movie” CYCLOPEAN 3D: LIFE WITH A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN was produced by GME through the Experimental Filmmakers Production Fund. GME President Jon Gartenberg presented CYCLOPEAN 3D the International Film Festival of Rotterdam in 2012, where he dubbed the film Jacobs’ “most directly autobiographical work to date.”

GME DVD Distribution: End of Semester Update

Gartenberg Media wishes the best for our university colleagues in these trying times. Due to the sudden advent of remote teaching beginning in March, we decided to suspend our announcement of our spring semester DVD releases until the fall of 2020.
