Between 1964 and 1966, Andy Warhol shot his "Screen Tests"-beautiful and revealing portraits of hundreds of different individuals, all visitors to his studio, The Factory. From the famous to the anonymous, most subjects were captured in stark relief by a strong keylight, and filmed by Warhol with his stationary 16mm Bolex camera on silent, black and white, 100-foot rolls of film. The result was a fascinating collection of 4-minute, slow-motion masterpieces that startle and entrance-mesmerizing in the purest sense of the word. Live music for the films composed and performed by Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips. 

Tom Sokolowski, Andy Warhol Museum’s charismatic Director will be meeting the group beforehand to provide context for the films. Enjoy a free meal at downtown’s Tonic restaurant—all gratis PITT ARTS.
