GME STREAMLINE IS HAPPY TO NOTE THE PREMIERE OF TODD HAYNES’S DOCUMENTARY “THE VELVET UNDERGROUND” AT THE 74TH CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

GME provided scenes from Gideon Bachmann’s UNDERGROUND NEW YORK (1968), Peter Emmanuel Goldman's ECHOES OF SILENCE (1964), Jonas Mekas’ AWARD PRESENTATION TO ANDY WARHOL (1964), SCENES FROM THE LIFE OF ANDY WARHOL (1963-1990), and WALDEN: DIARIES, NOTES, AND SKETCHES (1969), and Warren Sonbert’s AMPHETAMINE (1966) to Todd Haynes and Swish Productions for upcoming Apple TV+ broadcast of THE VELVET UNDERGROUND.

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND features in-depth interviews with the key players of that time combined with a treasure trove of never before seen performances and a rich collection of recordings, Warhol films, and other experimental art that creates an immersive experience into what founding member John Cale describes as the band's creative ethos: “how to be elegant and how to be brutal.” Cast, in addition to John Cale, includes Velvet Underground band members Lou Reed, Nico, Moet Tucker and Sterling Morrison, plus Andy Warhol, Mary Woronov, Jonathan Richman, La Monte Young, Dough Yule, and Amy Taubin.
