In 1964, La Monte Young provided a loud minimalist drone soundtrack to Kiss when shown as small TV-sized projections at the entrance lobby to the third New York Film Festival held at Lincoln Center.[1]

Kiss was followed by Eat (1963), Sleep (1964), Blow Job (1963) and Blue Movie (1969).

This was one of the first films Warhol made at The Factory in New York City.
