Bob Dylan's screen test for Andy Warhol, filmed January 23, 1965.

Warhol's static camera weaponizes boredom into tension.
Acting
Dylan's eyes: defiant, bored, calculating, already bored of being bored.

Andy Warhol
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dylan reportedly took the film reel with him and never returned it. Warhol later claimed he 'forgot' to pay for it anyway.
This was shot during Dylan's 'Bringing It All Back Home' sessions — he's about to go electric at Newport, making this the last footage of 'folk' Dylan before the rupture.
