Hall of Mirrors

This film is a unique exploration of narrative through the lens of found footage. Directed by Warren Sonbert, Hall of Mirrors emerged from a film class project at NYU, where Sonbert was tasked with re-editing outtakes from a Hollywood film shot by Hal Mohr.

Sonbert enhances this footage by incorporating scenes with Rene Ricard and Gerard Malanga, prominent figures in the Warhol circle, capturing them in more personal and introspective settings. The interplay of the re-edited Hollywood scenes with the everyday moments of these artists creates a distinctive viewing experience.

Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in collaboration with the Estate Project for Artists with AIDS in 1998, Hall of Mirrors stands as a significant piece in Sonbert's body of work and a testament to the experimental film movement of the 1960s.
