Video of the Day: Andy Warhol Screen Tests

In conjunction with The Andy Warhol Museum, Plexifilm is set to release the first ever authorized Andy Warhol films on DVD. 13 Most Beautiful...Songs for Andy Warhol's Screen Tests features 13 of Warhol's classic silent film portraits (he filmed nearly 500 in two years). You'll see the familiar faces of: Nico, Lou Reed, Edie Sedgwick, Dennis Hopper, and more.


Shot between 1964 and 1966 at Warhol's Factory studio in New York City, and on his stationary 16mm Bolex camera, the Screen Tests are presented with newly commissioned soundtracks performed by Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips (aka Dean & Britta).

    Pity Dennis Hopper (last one in the reel) went all right-wing on us. "An American Carol"? I mean dude, WTF?!



    Addendum: He may have repented!
