"Andy Warhol, Filmmaker," a course taught by Josh Guilford, assistant professor of English in the Film and Media Studies Program at Amherst College, considers the privileged place that film occupied in Andy Warhol's artistic practice during the 1960's. Warhol’s Sleep (1963) marks the artist’s foray into durational film and captures John Giorno, Warhol’s lover at the time, as he sleeps. Built on intricate sequences of looped imagery, Sleep is among Warhol's most formally complex works on film.

Join us for an immersive screening of Sleep (4 hours, 45 minutes), with introductory remarks by Guilford. All are welcome to move in and out of the screening throughout the evening. Popcorn will be served!

This program is offered in conjunction with the Amherst College’s Department of English and Film and Media Studies Program. It is free and open to all!
