HOLY HOT DAMN! theplanetofsound: Velvet Underground Film Discoveries, an all-new program featuring two Velvet Underground films that are not only newly-restored, but whose existence was completely unknown until recently — including one film with color, synchronous sound footage of the band playing live in Boston in 1967 (the only other live sync-sound footage of the band known to exist, capturing a long, untitled improvisation, is in The Velvet Underground and Nico, aka A Symphony of Sound, and was included in all of our previous VU screenings). The second new film discovery was shot and edited not by Andy Warhol or Paul Morrissey, but by Danny Williams, a previously-obscure yet important figure in the early Warhol/Velvets scene. Thought to be a lover of Andy Warhol, Williams helped create the frenetic light shows for Warhol’s multi-media experience “the Exploding Plastic Inevitable,” which were centered around the Velvet Underground’s dynamic performances. via The Secret Cinema  Image via
