Yes

N.p. N.p., Circa 1965. Vintage promotional flyer for a screening of the 1964 film held by the Film-Makers' Cinematheque at the Astor Place Playhouse in New York. The flyer also notes a benefit screening of Stan Brakhage's 1962 film "Dog Star Man."

The Film-Makers' Cinematheque was founded in New York in 1964 by Lithuanian-American director Jonas Mekas, a film critic, filmmaker, and father figure of the avant-garde New American Cinema of the 1960s. A successor of Mekas' 1962 group the Film-Makers' Cooperative, the Cinematheque frequently changed locations, the original venue being 414 Park Avenue South, later moving to Astor Place Playhouse on Lafayette, as noted on the flyer. The screenings quickly became a meeting ground for experimental filmmakers and fans, and was attended by Andy Warhol, Stan Brakhage, Kenneth Anger, and other key figures of the underground film scene.

Filmmaker and painter Naomi Levine was considered by Warhol to be his "first female superstar," and gained notoriety in 1963 by becoming the first of Warhol's female superstars to appear nude in one of his films, "Tarzan and Jane Regained... Sort Of." Her earliest films, including her debut effort, "Yes," garnered glowing praise from Mekas, who regularly screened her work, and interviewed her in December 1964 for "Movie Journal," his film column which appeared regularly in The Village Voice.

8.5 x 11 inches. Very Good plus, faintly toned to the edges, with a light diagonal crease to the bottom left corner.
