synopsis

"Andy Warhol's Factory People" tells the story of the 60's Silver Factory that Andy founded in 1964 in an abandoned hat factory on East 47th Street in New York City. The Silver Factory lasted until 1968 when Andy gave up the lease and moved to the White Factory on Union Square. Shortly after moving in the Spring of '68, Andy was shot by Valerie Solanas, and this event bookends the period of time covered in "Factory People." The film takes an in-depth look at the lives and times of the people who hung out with Andy and "worked" at the Silver Factory during the Sixties, making it all click as a new counter-culture arose and began to exert its influence throughout the arts.
