EXPERIMENTS IN FILM: The Films of Andy Warhol (1963 – 1965) 16mm + ScreenTalk at Barbican (24 OCT 18:30).

“Across the important period of 1963 – 1965, when Warhol would first begin to work with film, he created multiple seminal works, that would rank among his most iconic and celebrated films, including SLEEP (1963) and EMPIRE (1964). This event will provide a rare opportunity to see a number of the films on 16mm.”

“After the screening curators and writers John G. Hanhardt and Dr. Elena Gorfinkel will discuss the creative approaches and conceptual innovations which this period of Warhol’s career was characterised by. Following this conversation, audience members will be invited to the cinema foyer for a wine reception.” (Barbican)
