A A A Comments By Susan Froyd Thursday, Feb 10 2011

Andy Warhol never seems to go out of style: His deadpan persona and immeasurable impact on modern culture remain emblematic long after his death, and the rage is especially strong here in Denver right now, with the January opening of Warhol in Colorado at the University of Denver’s Myhren Gallery. In conjunction with that comprehensive exhibit, the Denver Film Society is offering the Warhol + 1 Film Series, a five-week retrospective of films with ties to the iconic pop-art progenitor.

The series began February 1 with a screening of Basquiat; future films, scheduled for 7 p.m. every Tuesday through February 22, include the Edie Sedgwick biopic Factory Girl (with director Esther Harrison in person), A Walk Into the Sea, and Beautiful Darling (with director James Raisin in person). The mini-fest concludes March 1 at the Myhren Gallery, 2121 East Asbury Avenue, with a program featuring a screening of I Shot Andy Warhol, the story of would-be Warhol assassin Valerie Solanas, and special guest Adam Lerner of MCA Denver.
