Gem has been available (and functional) on 64bit systems for about 15
years now.

however, on OSX, Gem uses QuickTime to get images (to read films or your
video camera), and Apple decided that QuickTime is *not* available for
64bit.
Dan has done a great job to reimplement film reading (using
AVFoundation), which mainly leaves video input and image reading to be
implemented to make Gem fully usable on macOS 64bit.

there were rumours about offering a bounty to get these fixed.

hopefully, this was cryptic enough.
