6 p.m. Art and archaeology/media and modernity/architecture film and discussion. Andy Warhol: "Since." Introduction by Callie Angell, curator of Andy Warhol Film Project; P. Adams Sitney, moderator. Stewart Film Theater, 185 Nassau St.

Friday, November 15. As part of the symposium, we will present the world premiere of Andy Warhol's film "Since" (1966). This film, which is just over an hour in length, is part of an unfinished Warhol project to restage the Kennedy assassination using his infamous cast of "Superstars" as actors. The film was never shown during the 1960s and has only recently been restored by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Callie Angell, Curator of the Andy Warhol Film Project, has been invited to introduce the film, and will participate in the discussions on Saturday as well.
