Now we're talking! Nice links pork.
I'm a big fan of the Cinema of Transgression.
Some of those VU vid's are a must have too.

I'm still looking for the DVD of all Andy's short films and kiss, blowjob, empire, etc. There's an Italian label that has officially released them, but I can't find it.

Tokolosh: Very expensive, but, as a starting point: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Andy-Warhol-...?ie=UTF8&s=dvd



EDIT: cheaper: http://www.absurd-online.dk/shop/pro...asp?id=DVD3058

If i'm not wrong that was released by a french label and it was also a limited edition.Last year we've had Empire shown on The Fourth Wall at work as well as 'Blue' by Derek Jarman as few years ago.I have a few of the Velvet Underground DVD's and my favourite has to be 'A Simphony of Sound' because the performance is amazing.

Thanks to the both of ya.

Bump!

Screen Edge has a good selection of videos including:

DESTROY ALL RATIONAL THOUGHT - William Burroughs and Brion Gysin - DVD Video

The FINAL ACADEMY DOCUMENTS - William Burroughs - DVD Video

I've only seen this one.
THEE FILMS - William Burroughs - VHS Video
This unique collection comprises all the films made during the lengthy period of collaboration between William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and the radical British film-maker Anthony Balch. In addition to the finished works the video includes a 50 minute film called 'Ghosts at No. 9' which uses cut-ups of film and superimpositions, material from the extensive archive of Psychick TV.

Director. Anthony Balch.
Featuring William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Ian Somerville, Antony Balch. BW & Colour.

I've seen some of it at the Barbican once. Highly reccomended. Highly. From His Holy Highness Of Highly Highly.

You can find them here for £12.99 each kroP. Quite cheap.

I've got the Burroughs material, from when it was a video put out by the Psychic TV mob. Very good stuff. I'd watch it again now, but one of the boardies currently has it.

I have the cut-up movies burned by a friend somewhere.Seriously good stuff, if you're into that sort of thing.
