Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests
We’ve just announced the first ever authorized DVD release of Andy Warhol’s films: 13 Most Beautiful… Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests. The DVD includes 13 of Warhol’s classic screen tests, including Nico, Edie Sedgwick, Dennis Hopper, Lou Reed, and more, paired with new soundtracks by Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips. Warhol made over 500 of these four-minute screen test films, and they’re some of his most subtly brilliant work.
Plexi’s been collaborating with the folks at the Warhol Museum to produce the DVD, it’s been an amazing project to work on. And this Friday the screen tests will be projected with a live soundtrack by Dean & Britta at the Byham Theater in Pittsburgh. They’ll be touring the live event across the US and Europe early next year.
We’ve has just made the DVDs available for pre-order, in a standard edition and a deluxe limited edition that includes a gelatin-silver print of the screen test star of your choice.
I want that limited edition so bad… I might have to postpone my trip to NYC just to be able to afford it 🙁
Great release either way, I think it’s worth every penny!

A couple days before Dean and Britta’s performance at the Walker Art Center in February, the Walker Art Center Teen Arts Council is producing an collaboration between young filmmakers and musicians (age 14-18). Check out the trailer here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CBm8xgQSvE

Tried to pre-order the standard edition, but it’s not coming up on your site (looks like only the limited edition can be pre-ordered). Can you let me know what I’m doing wrong
Thanks
