Love stories don’t always have a happy ending, but they don’t always have to be forgotten. Esther Robinson immerses herself and paints a picture of exploration and journey to the truth about the disappearance of her uncle, Danny Williams, one-time lover of Andy Warhol.
A Walk into the Sea is more than just a reminiscent look at the Factory era, but is also an homage to Williams’ talent, collaborator and filmmaker in his own right, as well as a discovery and compelling inquiry into his mysterious disappearance at the age of 27 in the year of 1966.
Robinson’s intimate interviews of the surviving Factory members is brilliantly complemented with the discovery of 20 never-before- seen films of Williams during his stay in the Factory, with the likes of Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, Paul Morrissey, Brigid Berlin , Billy Name as his subjects. There’s also some footage that allows us to finally bridge the gap in history as to the Velvet Underground.
From the eyes of his lover, get to know Warhol not as the iconic Modern Arts persona that we perceive him to be today, but as an artist who has a deep appreciation and understanding of the fragility of the human character, which makes up the core of the empire that he has built.
.MOV is proud to present you the Best Gay Film in the Berlin International Film Festival of 2007, A Walk into the Sea: Danny Williams and the Warhol Factory. It’s a love story that was not meant to be, but is too great not to be seen.
