New Yorker Films
New Yorker Films was founded in 1965 by Daniel Talbot as an outgrowth of his legendary movie house, the New Yorker Theater. Unable to obtain several crucial foreign titles, Talbot was obliged to import them himself. Early acquisitions such as Bertolucci's BEFORE THE REVOLUTION, Godard's LES CARABINIERS, and Sembene's BLACK GIRL established New Yorker's still vital tradition of presenting the world's most innovative, artistically significant, and politically engaged films. In addition to its theatrical premieres, New Yorker's strength is its ability to service the nontheatrical market, catering to the specialized needs of film society and classroom venues that fall beneath the radar of larger, more monolithic companies. The heart of New Yorker Films is a library of unsurpassed quality and depth, culled from leading independent and foreign film distributors such as Sony Classics, First Look, and Lions Gate. Combining historical reach with cutting-edge currency, the library's range extends from restored classics like L'ATALANTE and NIGHTS OF CABIRIA to recent causes célèbres such as HAPPINESS and LOLITA, from Oscar winners like ANTONIA'S LINE and CHARACTER to offbeat gems such as LATCHO DROM and GABBEH. The New Yorker library is a major source for trailblazing works by international women filmmakers such as Jane Campion, Claire Denis, Doris Dörrie, Maria Novaro, Sally Potter, Brigitte Roüan, and Margarethe von Trotta. It also features essential titles by leading lights of the American indie renaissance, including Allison Anders, Hal Hartley, Jim Jarmusch, Spike Lee, Richard Linklater, John Sayles, Todd Solondz, and Gus Van Sant. A distinctive feature of the library is its devotion to accumulating works by important individual directors -- a policy especially suited to retrospectives and university courses. Here you will find the most extensive collections anywhere of the films of such seminal cinéastes as Alea, Almodóvar, Fassbinder, Godard, Herzog, Oshima, Ozu, Satyajit Ray, Sembene, Straub, Tanner, and Zhang Yimou. Since 1990 New Yorker Films has extended its tradition of quality into the video market. An average of thirty new titles per year are released in video, representing a broad selection of the best in classic, foreign, and independent cinema.
