Warhol's films to be screened

The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens will be screening 33 Warhol films through November 11. For those living under a rug, Warhol was a pioneer during the 1960s avant garde era. In addition to being a painter, his films are infamous for being long, boring, unscripted and extremely unconventional. Warhol said, "Our movies may have looked like home movies, but then our home wasn't like anybody else's."

I'm interested in seeing a few of Warhol's films, as an aspiring filmmaker, I feel it's my duty. It would be interesting to sit through Warhol's "sleep" a film that's a 5 hour image of a man sleeping. Most people probably couldn't sit through half an hour of 'Sleep' but I think it'd be quiet an experience. The museum is showing a 33 title retrospective of Warhols work including films like "The Chelsea Girls" and a sampling of the 472 "Screen Tests" he shot with Susan Sontag, Lou Reed and others.
