Remembering Andy: A Conversation with John Waters and Vincent Fremont October 3, 2008

Fri, Oct 3, 2008 | 7:00PM
Weigel Auditorium

Listen in as two icons discuss Andy Warhol’s films and his lasting influence on cinema and American culture. General public tickets include one free admission to the exhibition Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms for October 3 or 4.

Inimitable filmmaker John Waters (Pink Flamingos, the original Hairspray, Crybaby) has made a career of pushing the boundaries of his art form, just like Warhol, and his earliest work was inspired by Warhol’s films. Director and producer Vincent Fremont began working for Warhol in 1969 and played an integral role in Warhol’s subsequent film, television, and video production, later serving as vice president of Andy Warhol Enterprises. Tonight the two trade Warhol stories, insights, and reminiscences.
