St. Louis, MO – The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts and Cinema St. Louis have teamed up to present an outdoor screening of Andy Warhol's iconic film Chelsea Girls on Tuesday, May 1st at 7:30pm.

The screening will be a rare opportunity to see the film in its original format, which includes two projections running simultaneously.  The film will be projected outside in the Pulitzer's courtyard.

Chelsea Girls follows the lives of those living in the Chelsea Hotel in New York City. The film was shot in a variety of locations including the Chelsea, Warhol's Factory, and apartments throughout Manhattan, including that of the Velvet Underground. Many of Warhol's "superstars" are featured in the film including Nico, Ondine, International Velvet, Brigid Berlin, Mary Woronov, and Ingrid Superstar.  Andy Warhol and co-director Paul Morrissey separated the film into 12 vignettes which are projected side-by-side. As the projectors cannot be completely synchronized, no two screenings of the film are ever the same.

Cinema St. Louis is a not-for-profit organization that emphasizes film as an art form. Its mission is to enhance cultural diversity by bringing American independent productions, horizon-expanding international films and high-quality studio films to audiences before their commercial release.

The Pulitzer aims to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of art and architecture.  With the works of art themselves, along with programs, collaborations and exchanges with other cultural and educational institutions, the Pulitzer is a resource for artists, architects, scholars, students and the general public.  The Pulitzer is located at 3716 Washington Blvd., St. Louis, MO, 63108, Telephone 314.754.1850, www.pulitzerarts.org.
