Warren Sonbert (1947-1995), was one of the key figures of American independent filmmaking. Works spanning Sonbert's entire career are now available for rental through Canyon Cinema, beginning with AMPHETAMINE (1966), made when he was still a teenager at New York University film school, through WHIPLASH (1995/1997), completed posthumously according to the filmmaker's specific instructions. Sonbert was the subject of a major retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in April-May 1999, guest curated by Jon Gartenberg. These new prints were struck directly from the preservation internegatives made by the Academy Film Archive from the camera original and original prints in the Estate of Warren Sonbert.
