‘It’s not about heroes and villains’: the triumphant return of long-lost indie I Shot Andy Warhol

Mary Harron's 1996 directorial debut, *I Shot Andy Warhol*, is returning to cinemas this summer in a new 4K restoration from Janus Films. The film chronicles the life of Valerie Solanas, who shot Andy Warhol in 1968, and has long been out of circulation due to bankrupt distributors, surviving mainly through a battered YouTube upload. Harron notes she had been trying for six or seven years to get the film back into theaters.
