The newly discovered moving image work—totaling over an hour in length—includes eight new Screen Test portraits of Warhol collaborators and unused footage shot for his films Batman Dracula, Sleep, and Couch. The most significant find is several rolls of pornographic footage that shed new light on Warhol's ambitions in the 1960s. They prove that the artist had been capturing explicit scenes on the couch of his famous Factory studio long before making Blue Movie, the salacious 1969 feature that would inspire a "porno chic" phenomenon.
