Andy Warhol – The American Dream
Director: Ľubomír Slivka
SK | 2023 | 90 min. | documentary
Andy Warhol remains unmapped by filmmakers with regard to his origins and personal life. The story of the icon connected with the history of Czechoslovak emigration, a hard life and whose dreams subsequently come true in a country which provided him with the opportunity to achieve personal self-fulfilment and success despite being different. This personality, a Slav by feeling and looks, managed to change the view of the art created up to then, whose uniqueness was based on Eastern art and a talent influenced by his origin.

But his overprotective parents won’t allow, as they have build the protective wall for a reason – they believe their son to be naive and irresponsible, and they constantly have to pull him out of trouble.
