Even before Art 101, we were all familiar with the iconic screen prints and well-worn "15 minutes" prediction. So we won't hold it against you if another Andy Warhol discussion sounds like recycled headlines. But with Factoring Warhol: Film, Myth, Legacy, a panel of filmmakers and writers focuses on his less-ballyhooed, but incredibly rich and influential career as film director. (If you thought Brokeback Mountain was groundbreaking, check out Lonesome Cowboys, his 1968 camp/shock Western.) Unique as it is, Warhol's deceptively banal style cries out for more context. Factoring Warhol is the perfect opportunity to see exactly how his patented irony can be so captivating.
