I shot Andy Warhol (Motion picture)

I Shot Andy Warhol is a 1996 biographical drama film about Valerie Solanas and her relationship with Andy Warhol. The film marked the feature directorial debut of Mary Harron. It stars Lili Taylor as Solanas, Jared Harris as Warhol, Martha Plimpton as Valerie's friend Stevie, and Stephen Dorff as Candy Darling. John Cale of the Velvet Underground wrote the film's score despite protests from his former bandmate Lou Reed (with whom he had collaborated on Songs for Drella, a concept album about Warhol's life, earlier in the decade). The members of Yo La Tengo portray an anonymous band reminiscent of the Velvet Underground. The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the 1996 Cannes Film Festival. To celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the Teddy Awards, the film was selected to be shown at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival in February 2016. On June 12, 2026, Janus Films released a 4K restoration of the film for its thirtieth anniversary.
