Dan Talbot is a notable figure in art-house cinema in the United States and the founder of New Yorker Films. New Yorker Films began in 1965. The company was a means to exhibit foreign films at the now defunct New Yorker Theater. Talbot first acquired Bernardo Bertolucci's Before the Revolution, which led the way for New Yorker Films to acquire more than 400 film titles. New Yorker Films held the rights for theatrical release to theaters and colleges, as well as to distribute films in VHS and DVD format. New Yorker Films was sold to Madstone Films in 2009.
Daniel Talbot was born Daniel Distenfeld on July 21, 1926, in Bronx, New York. He graduated from New York University with a degree in literature. He married Toby Talbot in 1951. He worked in publishing, Gold Medal Books and Avon Books and had published three anthologies: A treasury of mountaineering stories, 1955; Thirteen Great Stories, 1955; Film: an anthology, 1959. He was also a book editor, serving as the East Coast story editor for Warner Bros, and the film critic for The Progressive. In 1963, Talbot produced "Point of Order" with Emile de Antonio.
He also operated multiple theaters in New York's Upper West Side: New Yorker Theater (1960-1973), Cinema Studio (1977-1990), Metro Theater (1982-1987), and Lincoln Plaza Cinema (1981-2018). Talbot was honored in 2004 by IFP/New York with the Gotham Award for Industry Lifetime Achievement. Through his exhibition and distribution activities, Talbot provided moviegoers in the United States with access to a vast array of international filmmakers, including Robert Bresson, Claude Chabrol, Rainer Fassbinder, Federico Fellini, Werner Herzog, Yasujiro Ozu, Ousmane Sembene, and Wim Wenders, among others.
Dan Talbot died in New York City on December 29, 2017, at the age of 91.

The majority of the collection was processed by Adrien Hilton in 2013-2014, with the assistance of Zuleimy Gabriela Alcantara and Andrew Lee. The boxes were sent to ReCAP due to onsite space constraints. Some boxes were minimally processed. The posters series was inventoried and processed by Tom McCutchon with the assistance of Kevin Schlottmann and other students in 2021. The reprocessing work in 2023 includes a review of the entire collection, and conversion of various inventories into a container list for the finding aid with additional processing and rehousing work for materials that were not processed offsite and the remaining 67 boxes onsite. This work was completed by Yingwen Huang with some assistance of Madelyn Elizondo in Fall 2023.
Duplicative bank deposit receipts (1965-1979) from Subseries II.1 were deaccessioned due to the information already being reflected on daily box office reports. Duplicative materials such as commercial VHS and posters were also deaccessioned during processing. Duplicative serials have also been deaccessioned: American Cinematographer, American Film, Cineaste, Film Comment, Sight and Sound, New York Times Film Reviews, Cahiers du cinéma, Artforum.
