Film-Makers’ Co-Op Shows ‘The Wild One’
The Gulf Coast Film-Makers’ Co-Op, an off campus student organization, will inaugurate its Film Factory at 8 p.m., Friday.
Founded to encourage student film-making, Film-Makers’ Co-Op is a result of interest among university students for a place to show and make films. Spokesmen cite the fact that at present there isn’t any University course for the beginning student who wants to make creative films, and of the two courses devoted to film on campus, both are oriented for radio and TV majors.
The Group has received support from the New American Cinema groups on both east and west coasts. Independent film-makers like Bruce Baillie and Robert Nelson from California have provided films for the first program. In New York, Pop Artist Andy Warhol will provide his newest film, “Camp” with Baby Jane Holzer and Jack Smith, for...

“In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes,” Andy Warhol famously said, but the legendary artist probably didn’t expect that such a sentiment would apply to his own screen tests, which have endured over the decades as a curious, intimate look at the inner workings of his creative process.
Filmed during the ’60s-era heyday of his Warhol Factory, the black and white screen tests feature a slew of Warhol regulars — from Ondine to Edie Sedgwick, Lou Reed to Bob Dylan — and other famous faces of the day, all lensed on Warhol’s own Bolex camera. Nearly 500 of the screen tests were filmed, though Warhol did not use or exhibit all of them. Favorites were arranged into various compilations that were then screened by Warhol for assorted audiences, though they’ve continued to inspire and delight fans for decades past their original filming.

Lindsay Lohan may be a tabloid publisher’s dream, but for fans of celebrity news her exploits tend to induce more guilt than pleasure. We remember her when she was just a girl, brimming with talent and potential. We know how far she’s fallen.
That’s why, when we really need to scratch that gossip-news itch, we increasingly turn to disposable "stars" like Snooki and Courtney Stodden. Their failures don’t fill us with shame and dread. They make us feel the way we want to feel when we click on a celebrity headline: superior!
Andy Warhol created the first disposable celebrities when he plucked Edie Sedgwick, Baby Jane Holzer and others out of obscurity and declared them "Superstars." As it turned out, making them famous required nothing more than saying it was so.
"They were all dedicated to Andy's visions and gave their best to him, because he...

The 8th annual Brakhage Center Symposium has been programmed by curator Kathy Geritz and will examine the concept of experimental narrative over three days of screenings and lectures on March 16-18 at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
Geritz has pulled together a program in which experimental films explore notions of narrative through diverse means, whether combining with documentary or animated elements, or through nonlinear structure, or through the direct experience of time. As Geritz hopes: “In these different ways, the films presented will challenge and expand our expectations as they push the boundaries of storytelling conventions.”
Some of the filmmakers who will be present at the symposium are animators Stacey Steers and Chris Sullivan, experimental documentary filmmaker Amie Siegel and Cannes Film Festival Palme d’Or winner Apichatpong Weerasethakul, who will be screening his 1987 acclaimed feature film Syndromes and a Century and the more recent short film Emerald (2007).
Also, film critic and historian J.

Reclusive model/actress Jane Holzer has testified in a New York court about how she was tricked into handing over $220,000 to an alleged conman for a stolen Andy Warhol painting. Holzer, the pop artist's former protegee, took the stand at Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday, November 15 to give evidence against James Biear, an ex-chauffeur who was charged with fraud in 2009.
Biear is accused of stealing 11 Warhol works from his former employer, elderly art collector Kenward Elmslie, and transferring $3.2 million from one of the ailing millionaire's bank accounts into his own. The defendant is said to have later sold one of the works - Warhol's famous Heinz 57 wooden ketchup crate - to Holzer for $220,000 and she told the court how she spent a further $20,000 to have the painting restored, reports the New York Post.

Reclusive model/actress Jane Holzer has testified in a New York court about how she was tricked into handing over $220,000 (£146,670) to an alleged conman for a stolen Andy Warhol painting.
Holzer, the pop artist's former protegee, took the stand at Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday to give evidence against James Biear, an ex-chauffeur who was charged with fraud last year.
Biear is accused of stealing 11 Warhol works from his former employer, elderly art collector Kenward Elmslie, and transferring $3.2 million (£2.1 million) from one of the ailing millionaire's bank accounts into his own.
The defendant is said to have later sold one of the works - Warhol's famous Heinz 57 wooden ketchup crate - to Holzer for $220,000 and she told the court how she spent a further $20,000 (£13,300) to have the painting restored, reports the New York Post.
The actress, dubbed Baby Jane in the 1960s, was among the first of Warhol's superstars to attract intense media attention before shunning the spotlight in the 1990s.
The case continues.

Donna Karan and Ross Bleckner. From PatrickMcMullan.com. Olivia Chantecaille and B. J. Topol.Saturday evening in Southampton, more than 500 movers and shakers turned out in their summer’s finest for the 16th annual Parrish Art Museum Midsummer Party, an event that this year honored philanthropist and mega art collector Beth Rudin DeWoody and celebrated artist Ross Bleckner. Powerhouse artists such as Chuck Close, Eric Fischl, April Gornick, David Salle, Hunt Slonem, Michele Oka-Doner, Dennis Oppenheim, and Keith Sonnier mingled with big-time collectors including Adam Sender, Christoph DeMenil, Jane Holzer, and Jonathan Sobel, while writer Jay McInerney chatted with New York first lady Michelle Paterson. The dinner and after-party raise more than $700,000 for the museum. Sitting at Parrish Art Museum trustee Philip Isles’s table ensured interesting dinner partners. Isles owns one of the most prestigious art collections in New York, so collecting was a popular topic of conversation. Fashion...

Nacho Figueras. By PatrickMcMullan.com.Last weekend in the Hamptons ... • Factory alum including Lou Reed and “Baby” Jane Holzer congregated at art dealer Eric Firestone’s East Hampton gallery on Saturday for the opening of “Andy Warhol: Dylan to Duchamp,” a show featuring 150 photos that document the legendary Pop Art icon’s life, including never-before-seen shots of the artist at work. [Nyp] • Meanwhile in Montauk, flocks of boat shoe-shod hipsters deserted the East Village to invade the Montauk Yacht Club to hear downtown darlings Jen Brill (of artist management firm Fred and Associates) and Chrissie Miller (designer of Sophomore) man the turntables. After all, what self-respecting downtown "It girl" doesn’t know how to D.J.? [Guest of a Guest] • Bridgehampton Polo kicks off on July 24, but Hamptons staple Nacho Figueras is garnering publicity for another reason: the professional polo player and Ralph Lauren model was just named the first-ever "connoisseur" for St. Regis Hotels and Resorts.

The Real Housewives of NYC cast may already be brimming with six divalicious ladies, but make way for one more! A new housewife, socialite Sonja Morgan, joins the cast of ladies in tonight's new episode. (And in case you're wondering, she will get full, golden apple-holding privileges in the credits eventually.) Morgan rang up EW to introduce herself, revealing that she's Bff with Roberto Cavalli, is working on a Candace Busnell-esque screenplay, and knew Ramona back in the '80s when she "was really crazy" (more so than now?!?). Read on to find out what makes Sonja tick. Entertainment Weekly:...

Last Saturday night in downtown Manhattan, the art world indulged in a "meta" mutual lovefest in two locations, a few blocks apart, in parallel time. Rob Pruitt, famed for his Andy Warhol–inspired canvases of glittering panda bears, was signing copies of his new monograph, Pop Touched Me. Covering the walls of Gavin Brown's Enterprise gallery with a couple hundred autographs of art-world royalty, Pruitt offered a historical survey, and evidence of his title. Off and on for the last two decades, he's gotten art notables and others to put their signatures on one-by-three-foot pieces of raw canvas with a big black marker. One of the non-art signatures is that of the former president of France Jacques Chirac, noting the date as 1989. Almost all of the rest are art-celebrity scribbles, which fill the standard-size canvases with an unpredictable spatial variety. One is particularly extravagant: gallery owner Tony Shafrazi's signature stands...

Recycling fanatic Dallas Boesendahl has a bone to pick with Mayor Bloomberg. At the recent East Hampton Antiques Show benefiting the East Hampton Historical Society, the antiques dealer was offering customers like Beth Rudin DeWoody and Jane Holzer a choice of used shopping bags from Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Saks and Cartier to carry home their precious finds. The conversation went from recycling to junk mail and Bloomberg's campaign pamphlets that are cramming everyone's mailboxes. Boesendahl says he tried and failed to get his name removed from Hizzoner's mailing list. One Hamptons socialite suggested they hire a...

The unaccented, matter-of-fact tone of Aleksei Balabanov's "Cargo 200" is deliberately disarming. The plain Jane approach leads us to expect story complexity, nuance, social relevance -- anything, really, beside what we eventually get, which is a cold-eyed slide into the human hellpit. Based on "true events," somewhat embroidered, Balabanov's movie is a poison-pen letter sent to the heart of the failing Soviet society circa 1984, and you can appropriately read its sneaky, scalding tribulations as a face-slap to the Russians, young and old, who nostalgize the old regime. What's often lamented is the passing of a sense of enforced order and control; Balabanov is here to remind everyone that bloodthirsty chaos ruled, and you forget that at your peril.
