What does “Zeitgeist” mean

Ideas and spirit of time: the ideas prevalent in a period and place, particularly as expressed in literature, philosophy, and religion

[Mid-19th century. From German, literally spirit of the time.]

Does Zeitgeist read scripts?

No, Zeitgeist is a distribution company, not a production company, so we don’t look at scripts. We only consider completed films.

How can I submit a film for your consideration?

We do not accept unsolicited videotapes. If you have a finished film which you think would be of interest to us (you can see the kind of films we distribute by browsing our website) you can send us a one-page description of your film. Email it to mail@zeitgeistfilms.com with ACQUISITIONS in the subject line or fax it to (212) 274-1644 to the attention of ACQUISITIONS. If the description interests us we will contact you to find out how we could see your film. But please bear in mind that we distribute only five or six films a year, most of which are acquired at film festivals.

Does Zeitgeist have any job vacancies?

Sorry. Not at the present time.

Does Zeitgeist offer internships?

Yes, if you are interested in an internship in film distribution (we do not do production), for not less than three months at 20 hours per week, for a stipend or college credit, please fax a resume to (212) 274-1644 or e-mail mail@zeitgeistfilms.com.

How can I see Zeitgeist’s films?

Our new, recent, and upcoming releases are listed on our In Theaters page. Visit the theatrical site for each film in that list to find out where the film is playing.

Many of our older films are available on home video and DVD. Visit our Home Video Store for more information.

How can I rent films for educational screenings?

Download our Non-Theatrical Catalogue. We can also send you our catalogue by mail. Just fill out a Request Catalogue Form, or call (212) 274-1989. Visit our Non-Theatrical and Educational Booking section for more ordering information.

How can I buy Zeitgeist’s films on DVD?

DVDs on the Zeitgeist Video label can be purchased on our website through our DVD Store or by calling 1-800-509-0448. Some of our films have been released by other distributors and those DVDs can be purchased by visiting the page for the film you’re interested in (see Browse Films) and clicking on the DVD Release Info button.

I have a copy of one of your films on video or DVD. Can I use it for a public screening?

First you will need to purchase public performance rights. These rights allow the purchasing institution to show the VHS or DVD in public on the institution’s premises during the life of the tape or disc. For more information visit our Non-Theatrical Ordering Information section, e-mail us, or call (212) 274-1989 ext. 18.
