Through our relationship with Edition Filmmuseum, GME can now offer, for the first time, digital site licenses of these pioneering works with the purchase of DVD/DSL bundles.

GME STREAMLINE PRESENTS THE SPANISH FILMS OF SEGUNDO DE CHOMÓN AND VAL DEL OMAR NOW AVAILABLE AS DIGITAL SITE LICENSES IN DVD/DSL BUNDLES

GME Streamline is pleased to present digital publications of two under-recognized yet important Spanish cinema pioneers, Segundo de Chomón and José Val del Omar, now available from GME as DVD/DSL bundles. Chomon was a rival of Georges Méliès, and cinema poet Val Del Omar flourished during the Silver Age of Spanish Culture, alongside compatriot and friend Federico Garcia Lorca. Our objective in presenting these two monographic digital publications of these experimental pioneers of the moving image is to reposition them within the discourse of world cinema, rather than only to the confines of Spanish film history.

GME STREAMLINE PRESENTS BERNARDO BERTOLUCCI’S THE CONFORMIST NOW AVAILABLE FOR DIGITAL SITE LICENSING

Continuing our release of GME Streamline titles from the Kino Lorber collection, we are excited to now offer Bernardo Bertolucci’s cinematic masterpiece, THE CONFORMIST (1970). This film is both a searing study of sexuality and politics set in 1930’s Italy and a triumph of opulent visual storytelling. Bertolucci combines a flawless aesthetic with a deep emphasis on composition, design, and camerawork to slowly build a devastating portrait of the kind of personality that allows fascism to flourish. The protagonist, Marcello (played by Jean-Louis Trintignant), spends much of the film being followed by fascist henchmen who are shadowing him to ensure he carries out his orders.
