2016 Visiting Filmmakers: Where to see what's new

In 2016, our Visiting Filmmaker program brought 24 filmmakers to the Film/Video Theater to introduce new work and talk with local film lovers, from the local (Gabrielle Burton) to the internationally acclaimed (Whit Stillman, Kelly Reichardt), to the once-overlooked (Julie Dash), to the simply indescribable (hello, Bruce McClure). That's a lot to keep up with, so in case you missed anything, here's a list of 2016 Visiting Filmmakers with new work available for the small screen. And since some of them are coming up in year-end award conversations, you can use this to get a jump on your pre-Oscar watching. 

Jem Cohen, Counting: Cohen's 15-chapter film is now streaming on Vudu and iTunes, and is available on DVD and Blu-ray from Cinema Guild.

Steve Reinke, Rib Gets in the Way: Reinke's work from the 2014 Whitney Biennial is viewable for free on Vimeo.

Barbara Kopple, Harlan County USA: You can get the award-winning 1976 doc on disc from Criterion. Kopple also has a new series of short documentaries on the American workforce now streaming on Vimeo, made in partnership with the nonprofit WorkingNation. And her 2016 film on the late, great Sharon Jones is available for paid streaming on multiple platforms, including Amazon and Vudu.

Whit Stillman, Love & Friendship: The latest from the director of Metropolitan is currently garnering critics' awards for its Jane Austen-adapted screenplay, and streaming on Amazon. It's also widely available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Oren Rudavsky, Colliding Dreams: Explore the history of Zionism on YouTube, iTunes or Google Play. You can find it on disc through Amazon. 

Gabriel Mascaro, August Winds and Neon Bull: Both films are now streaming on YouTube, iTunes and Google Play.

Nicholas Rombe, The Removals: This sci-fi feature from Columbus micro-budget producer Two Dollar Radio isn't just streaming via Flix Premiere, it's available on gloriously retro VHS.

Penny Lane, Nuts: Lane's animated documentary is now messing with viewer's perceptions on Amazon.

Frederic Tuten, Possession: The screenwriter's unforgettable 1981 collaboration with director Andrzej Zulawski hasn't always been easy to find, but right now you can pick up a limited edition, extras-filled Blu-ray set from Toufaan.

Kirsten Johnson, Cameraperson: We'll be surprised if this one doesn't end up with an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature. Be prepared—pre-order the Criterion Collection release, due out February 7.

Marc Osborne, The Little Prince: This animated charmer is viewable on Netflix. It's perfect for whole-family watching during holiday downtime and generating early excitement for the upcoming collaboration between Osborne and Bone creator/Wex member Jeff Smith.
