THE FILMS OF ANDY WARHOL
8 & 9 August 1998
London Barbican Centre
We are delighted to welcome Mark Webber, and art historian Jean Wainright, who will introduce two double bills of recently restored Andy Warhol films to complement The Warhol Look exhibition in the Barbican Art Gallery.
Three of the four films have never been shown in the UK and feature all the best known ‘superstars’ in films from before the commercial success of Warhol’s Flesh, Trash and Heat. The films come direct from the New York Museum of Modern Art courtesy of the Andy Warhol Museum.
Curated by Mark Webber for Barbican Screen.

A filmed document of a staged dinner hosted by Warhol’s ill-fated starlet Edie Sedgwick at the newly opened L’Avventura restaurant in New York.
THE LOVES OF ONDINE
Andy Warhol, USA, 1967, 16mm, colour, sound, 85 min
Originally included as a part of ****, Andy Warhol’s 25 hour movie, The Loves of Ondine consists of a series of encounters between Ondine and various women who try to ‘adjust’ his sexual orientation, providing a platform for him to demonstrate his brilliant, misogynistic wit. Halfway through the film the story is punctuated by a notorious food fight sequence which was filmed in the house of Waldo Diaz Balart, brother-in-law of Fidel Castro.
