January 26  Friday

Film Love:  Andy Warhol 1
Film
8:00pm
$7
In addition to being one of the twentieth century’s most famous artists, Andy Warhol was also one of the most influential filmmakers of the 1960s. With their outrageous conceptual gestures, voluble personalities, and provocative content, Warhol’s films became notorious and bridged underground and mainstream cinema as never before.
But most of Warhol’s important early films have never been released on video and to this day exist only as 16mm prints. In a two-night series of screenings at Eyedrum, Frequent Small Meals presents a rare opportunity to view some of these much-discussed but little-seen films.
On Friday January 26, we present two classics from Warhol’s early minimalist phase, Haircut (No. 1) and Eat. In his early films, Warhol trained the camera on a single activity for a lengthy period, with an often extraordinary sense of composition. He then projected the films at a slightly slower speed, creating a dreamlike movement and revealing how much there is to see in small gestures. Despite their beauty, the radical simplicity of these films scandalized audiences. Haircut and Eat are accompanied by a selection of “screen tests,” the three-minute portrait films (which Warhol produced by the hundreds) of famous and infamous visitors to the artist’s Factory studio. 

Haircut (No. 1) (1963), 16mm, 24 minutes
Four of Andy Warhol’s Most Beautiful Women (1964-70), 16mm, 15 minutes
Eat (1964), 16mm, 35 minutes
Andy Warhol 1 is a Film Love event, programmed and hosted by Andy Ditzler for Frequent Small Meals. More information on Frequent Small Meals music, film, and art events can be found at www.frequentsmallmeals.com 


January 28  Saturday

Film Love:  Andy Warhol 2
Film
8:00pm
$7
Frequent Small Meals presents the second of a two-night series on this influential but rarely screened filmmaker.
Space is one of Warhol’s most unusual films, made during the “superstar” phase of his career. Warhol assembled a cast of Factory denizens, and asked them to read a script from cue cards. However, as the filming proceeds, the cast becomes more interested in interacting with each other than in following the script. Warhol allows this breakdown to happen, and lets his usually static camera travel through the ensuing mayhem. 

Space (1965), 16mm, 67 minutes
Andy Warhol 2 is a Film Love event, programmed and hosted by Andy Ditzler for Frequent Small Meals. More information on Frequent Small Meals music, film, and art events can be found at www.frequentsmallmeals.com

We devoted lots of time to a revisiting of the Atlanta underground/ indie scene of the early/mid 1980s, with previously unreleased recordings by 86, Pillowtexans, Vietnam and Amalgamated Cliff Divers; there's a show at Eyedrum on Oct. 7th that has lots of people from these bands performing for the first time in many years. After the retro fix, we played a few songs by Tunnels, Acid Mothers Temple and Hubcap City, all recorded live at Eyedrum in the past month. We closed with Tuna Helpers (performing Oct. 11th) and a short piece by avant garde luminary Jack Smith.
