As a perfect companion piece to A WALK INTO THE SEA, we present Danny Williams: Factory Films, a rare movie and music spectacular. This event will showcase four of Williams' shorts in their entirety: THE FACTORY FILM, HAROLD STEVENSON PART 1 AND PART 2, and the US premiere of THE VELVET UNDERGROUND. All will be screened silent with the exception of the 40-minute Harold Stevenson film, which will feature live accompaniment by A WALK INTO THE SEA composer T. Griffin, along with Catherine McRae. Griffin and McRae are part of the critically acclaimed electronic Americana band The Quavers. They are also known for their creative collaborations with film cult legend Jem Cohen, and others including, Vic Chesnutt, members of Godspeed you! black emperor, and Patti Smith. Now, drawing on bubblegum pop, Lamon Young-inspired drones and of course The Velvet Underground, they will lend their intricate and immersive sounds to Williams' luminous work.
