Films from Warhol’s Factory: “The Velvet Underground and Nico” at Film Streams

To coincide with Joslyn Art Museum’s exhibition In Living Color: Andy Warhol and Contemporary Printmaking from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and his Family Foundation, which celebrates Andy Warhol, the Printmaker, Film Streams will celebrate Andy Warhol, the Auteur, and his productive and tumultuous history with film. All screenings are held at Film Streams’ Ruth Sokolof Theater. Most films in the series will be packaged as double features; see both for the price of one, or just pick one! Joslyn members may enjoy a discounted admission price of $7 per screening, including double features. All films shown on 16mm — a first at the Ruth Sokolof Theater!
