About Us
Filmakers Library has been distributing documentary films for almost 40 years, starting with a landmark, cinema verite documentary called Birth and Death. The collections grew from life cycle films to a constantly widening perspective of issue oriented documentaries. Gathering films from American independents as well as filmmakers from all over the world, we are proud to make available these insightful documentaries. And now, as an imprint of Alexander Street Press, we look forward to making our films available in ways that were not possible before.
