https://facebook/events/813906515297270/ 29th Annual Milwaukee LGBT Film/Video Festival presents... Andy Warhol’s SAN DIEGO SURF (Andy Warhol, Paul Morrissey, 16mm, 90 min., 1968/1996) REGIONAL PREMIERE of this recently restored Warhol feature! FREE! A movie both outrageous and louche, SAN DIEGO SURF is the film Andy Warhol & Co. made after completing “Lonesome Cowboys,” all involved repairing to La Jolla, CA to fashion this sequel of sorts, a movie as much about surfing as the previous was a Western. Warhol regulars Viva and Taylor Mead play a married couple, unhappy yet also recent parents. (An actual baby plays the baby.) They open their beach house to a bunch of surfers and desires crest. The film remained without a final edit until 1996 when the Warhol Foundation, the story goes, commissioned collaborator Paul Morrissey to make a final edit, the film only screening again in the last few years. (This is its regional premiere.) The film would be the last of his features on which Warhol was directly involved, the artist shot by Valerie Solanas one month after filming was completed. The film, however, ends with a christening of sorts, a newly anointed Mead proclaiming, “I’m a real surfer now, a real surfer….” Print courtesy of The Warhol Museum, with much thanks to Geralyn Huxley for her time and counsel.
