Saunders Lewis v’s Andy Warhol

Eighteen Short Films About Late 20th Century Welsh Language Rock Music.

Between 1989 and 1998 Emyr Glyn Williams ran Welsh indie label ANKST RECORDS. In that time, he also created a wide-ranging visual record of all the great bands he worked with on formats ranging from Super 8 / 16mm and 35mm to VHSC, Digibeta and all formats in between. From all these sources he has pulled together the musical memoir film that is ‘Saunders Lewis vs Andy Warhol‘.

Emyr called ‘Saunders Lewis v Andy Warhol’ “A personal ffilm… a group portrait from a time before Welsh music was Cool or Devolved, and a ffilm created exclusively from the images that I shot and independently produced at that time. A ffilm found on the stockroom floor is the best description of the form of the film but a truer, more emotionally apt title for the ffilm would be ‘Have You Seen Your Culture Baby, Standing in The Shadows?”
