Warhol collaborated with famous filmmaker Paul Morrissey for this film which featured five renegade gay cowboys and their (mis)adventures in a small western town. Highly erotic in nature, Warhol takes apart the normative mythology of Westerns and imparts his own political and aesthetic vision to it. The film is nonchalant and irreverent, with littl...
The apotheosis of Warhol’s continuous experiments with time through the cinematic medium, this eight-hour-long film features nothing but a static shot of the Empire State Building, with little to no developments, filmed from early evening until nearly 3am on 24-25 July 1964 from an office of the Rockefeller Foundation, on the 41st floor of the Time...
Blow Jobis an experimental take on the sexual act that manages to convert the profane to the profound and then deconstructs itself to reveal nothing at all. For the entirety of the 36 minutes of screen time, a fixed camera focuses on DeVeren Bookwalter’s face who appears to be on the receiving end of the act in the title. His expression keeps chang...
This was a short adaptation of Anthony Burgess’ famous novel, A Clockwork Orange, which came six years before Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece. Vinylis more conventional than his other works because it is a scripted film, thanks to a collaboration with playwright Ronald Tavel. However, it is still pretty experimental and blurs the lines between fake v...
The 16mm black-and-white film is a collection of shorter works which features couples kissing, depicting heteronormative as well as homosexual couples. It challenged the sensibilities of the audience of that time by asserting that same-sex couples were equal. Kissis an important part of the gay pride narrative because it is a product of the politic...
Edie Sedgwick, one of Warhol’s most frequent collaborators, stars in this avant-garde impressionistic portrait/documentary. We see her smoking, dressing up, talking on the phone, makes coffee and exercising in bed. The first half is deliberately out of focus, another experiment that Warhol employs to dissect the gaze of the camera. In the second ha...
In this 67-minute film, Warhol recorded a practice session of the legendary band at his Factory in January 1966. During this time, Warhol took a break from his paintings and expanded his interests. He became the manager and producer of The Velvet Underground. Warhol’s self-reflexive filming, the mellow tunes and the cops arriving work together in a...
Beauty #2 is the better-known film of his two-part “Beauty” series. The 1965 film stars Edie Sedgwick, Gino Piserchio and Chuck Wein. While Sedgwick and Piserchio indulge in flirting and romantic gestures on a bed, Wein continuously disrupts the moment by asking Sedgwick questions that are a source of frustration for her. Like Warhol often loved to...
A 16mm film of Edie Sedgwick watching a pre-recorded tape of herself on a television monitor, Outer and Inner Spaceis one of Warhol’s most interesting experiments with film. This was the first time he used video, multiplying and layering images to further erase the distinction between the signifier and the signified. Two reels, side-by-side, play s...
The most famous film that Warhol ever made, the 1966 effort chronicles the goings-on at the famous Chelsea Hotel: a faux pope taking confessions, a drunken mother insulting her son and his mute girlfriend, four women fighting in a bedroom and other hedonistic extravagances mixed with the rotting stench of the corpse of morality. The four-hour film ...
