Answers only, questions can be found on Prof. Kreul's blog...
1. The Charles Theater, Julian Beck and Judith Malina’s Living Theater, The Thalia, The New Yorker, The Bleecker Street Cinema. The Charles Theater would exhibit work from local artists in the lobby, throw jazz concerts, special Ukrainian-language double features, and programming silent films during the day.
2. Ron Rice, Jack Smith, and Ken Jacobs. The films were characterized by spontaneous antics and manic despair while shocking audiences.
3. New York was cleaning up for the 1964 World’s Fair by shutting down beat hangouts. Scorpio Rising by Kenneth Anger.
4. Warhol and Tavel made a bare-essentials remake of “A Clockwork Orange.” Edie Sedgewick stole the film with her trance-like performance.
5. Underground films began being shown in mainstream theaters in New York and LA. Andy Warhol’s film “Chelsea Girl’s” was the first underground to cross over to mainstream. The films were not well received by mainstream NY critics.
6. Getz would create compilations of underground films and send them out to cities all across America so that they received more exposure. Most of the films were shown in midnight screenings in what would later be known as ‘The Underground Cinema 12’.
7. Warhol’s post-67 films had much more taboo subject matter than his earlier works. He would show subjects like drug and sex in a very detailed manner. Stylistically, however, Warhol did not change too drastically after 1967.
