This Women's History Month, GME Highlights Works By Women Filmmakers We Distribute on DSL, DVD, and Blu-Ray!

This Women's History Month, GME pays tribute to Women Filmmakers from our catalogue of digital moving image publications in DSL, DVD, and/or Blu-Ray format, which we make available exclusively to academic institutions in North America in collaboration with an array of archives and boutique publishers worldwide, including Cameo Media, Flicker Alley, Index Edition, Kino Lorber, Light Cone, and Re:Voir, among others. The role of women filmmakers has been generally overlooked in the writing of film histories. GME has carefully curated a selection of works from these organizations so as to more fully represent the significant contributions that women filmmakers have made from the birth of moving pictures.
