During the 1960s Andy Warhol focused more on making films, claiming that he was now painting simply to fund his movies. His style of films, including the controversial 1966 Chelsea Girls, often resemble a raw prototype of today’s reality television, an amalgam of semi-scripted and unscripted scenes complete with crude sound and camerawork. Warhol claimed he was “just photographing what happens” to document the moment.

However with Chelsea Girls, Warhol delivered “reality” through his own unique vision. The unblinking display of sex and drugs drove the film’s notoriety, but stylistically the film is a kinetic revelation that evolves from black and white to full color, with fragmented scenes depicted on a split screen. As he plainly stated, “I put two things on the screen in Chelsea Girls so you could look at one picture if you were bored with the other.”
