As far as I know, they aren't that obscure, but I'm in Los Angeles. Where
are you located?
There are several on display in the Visual Music show at the Hirschorn
Museum in DC, which appeared in Los Angeles before.
As part of the Most Typical Avant-Garde series, the UCLA Film Archive will
be screening FILM EXERCISES (1940-45) by the Whitneys next Wednesday
November 9 at 7:30 pm along with some gems by others.

There are others on the list who would know more about the ownership &
distribution of the films. We can probably learn more soon.
Best regards,
Adam
