    Pop Cinema is a three-night program of films made in the context of Pop Art in England and the US, from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. While the influence of cinema is well known in the history of Pop Art, the production of cinema itself has been almost completely neglected. Many of the artists associated with Pop Art in the UK and the US made films, but only Andy Warhol’s films are well-known. Along with artist-produced films, a significant group of documentary films were also made about these artists, narrating the history of Pop as it was unfolding. Neither the artist-made films nor the documentaries have been properly acknowledged for their crucial contribution to the history of Pop Art. This will be the first program in the US to bring together a significant number of films made in the context of Pop Art. Pop Cinema has been supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative.
