    This program features the recently unearthed and restored The Velvet Underground in Boston, a rare cinematic portrait—not seen in forty years—of the VU performing live at the Boston Tea Party, the film’s single-framing and sudden zooms described by Callie Angell as mirroring “the kinesthetic experience of the Exploding Plastic Inevitable… with its liberal use of amphetamines, and overpowering sound.” Followed by Hedy, Warhol’s Superstar-studded melodrama wherein legendary drag queen Mario Montez receives a face lift, is arrested for shoplifting and goes on trial to face the accusations of her five former husbands (who include Gerard Melanga and scenarist Ronald Tavel).
