AWARD PRESENTATION TO ANDY WARHOL
Jonas Mekas | 1964 | USA | 12 min | 16mm

We are introduced to Mekas’ friends, most of whom were key players in the American independent film and art scene. Shot at Warhol’s Factory, “Presentation” is a film record of Film Culture Magazine’s 1964 Independent film award. The soundtrack is from the Supremes, music which was constantly played at the Factory. Visually shot in the Warhol style yet not a Warhol film at all, this contrastingly pastoral and un-neurotic work reveals the stylistic dialogue between these two key avant-garde filmmakers. A classic composition, like a group photograph that moves with minute details and gestures.
