Synopsis

In 1966 Danny Williams disappeared. Twenty four years later, his niece, director Esther Robinson, discovered over 20 never-before-seen films he made at the Warhol Factory. Subjects included Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, and what may be the earliest known footage of the Velvet Underground, all shot in a lush, poetically radical style that stands in stark contrast to other cinematic records of the Factory scene.
