Todd Haynes on ‘Velvet Underground,’ NY’s Avant-Garde Scene and the Challenges of Making a Music Doc
尽管从未制作过纪录片，但托德·海恩斯（Todd Haynes）毫不犹豫地毫不犹豫地，当环球音乐集团的戴维·布莱克曼（David Blackman）在2018年与他联系，为巨大影响力的摇滚乐队The Velvet Underground与Andy Warhol的指导，并发起了一项非小说类型的功能，并发起了职业生涯。娄·里德（Lou Reed），约翰·卡尔（John Cale）和尼科（Nico）。奥斯卡提名的导演 - 以叙事特征而闻名，包括“远离天堂”“卡罗尔”，“黑水”和鲍勃·迪伦（Bob Dylan）冥想“我不在那里” - 并不担心参加非小说类项目是因为“最终所有电影都是叙事经历，并且是戏剧性的经历。纪录片需要以许多相同的方式工作，与虚构的电影为了吸引观众而需要工作。结果是“地下天鹅绒”，它在Cann上首映ES电影节。为了使乐队的历史栩栩如生，海恩斯依靠60年代的地下实验电影，照片，沃霍尔合作者的团体录像，以及与乐队成员以及周围的人的当代和档案采访。 “滚动纪录片，这支乐队缺乏传统材料，这立即将过程带入了这个实验电影的世界，这不仅对这个故事是装饰性的，而且确实是这支乐队齐聚一堂的始终性。” 。 “我们确实拥有前卫的文化，尤其是在纽约的文化，作为我们如何可视化这个故事的原材料，并指导我们正在做的事情。带领海恩斯和他的长期制作伙伴杀手电影《克里斯汀·瓦洪》（Christine Vachon预算。”海恩斯（Haynes）和瓦肯（Vachon）与纪录片制片人朱莉·戈德曼（Julie Goldman）合作，指导他们完成资金，编辑和制作Doc.Apple TV Plus的任务。10月15日的剧院将被学院认可。但是海恩斯了解到，闯入AMPA的非小说类方面可能是一个挑战。“纪录片分支机构是该学院的一个分支，我非常尊重，有时会保护自己的艺术家，我明白了，我明白了。。“这不是我踩在那里的野心，但我为这部电影感到自豪。我希望在剧院中看到它，这确实是我关注的目标。”
Despite having never made a documentary, Todd Haynes didn’t hesitate when Universal Music Group’s David Blackman approached him in 2018 to make a nonfiction feature about the enormously influential rock band the Velvet Underground, which was initially mentored by Andy Warhol and launched the careers of Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico.
The Oscar-nominated director — known for narrative features including “Far From Heaven” “Carol,” “Dark Waters” and the Bob Dylan meditation “I’m Not There” — wasn’t worried about taking on a nonfiction project because “ultimately all films are narrative experiences and are dramatic experiences. Documentaries need to work in many of the same ways that fictional films need to work in order to reach audiences.”
Haynes spent the better part of three years researching, interviewing subjects and sifting through 600 hours of archival footage with editor Adam Kurnitz. The result is “The Velvet Underground,” which made its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. To bring the band’s history to life, Haynes relied on underground experimental films from the ’60s, photographs, Warhol collaborators’ footage of the group, and contemporary and archival interviews with band members and those around them.
“Unlike subjects of other rock ’n’ roll documentaries, there was a lack of traditional materials surrounding this band, and that immediately directed the process into this world of experimental film that is not just ornamental to this story but is truly the firmament from which this band came together,” Haynes explains. “We really had the culture of the avant-garde, particularly in New York, as our raw material for how to visualize this story, and that directed what we were doing.”
The lack of full-scale concert footage of the band’s peak era led Haynes and his longtime producing partner, Killer Films’ Christine Vachon, to license archival material, which the director says was “a considerable challenge for this film in terms of budget.”
Haynes and Vachon teamed with documentary producer Julie Goldman of Motto Pictures to guide them in the task of funding, editing and producing a doc.
Apple TV Plus is hoping that “The Velvet Underground,” which debuts on the streamer and in select theaters on Oct. 15, will be recognized by the Academy come March. But Haynes understands that breaking into the nonfiction side of AMPAS can be a challenge.
“The documentary branch is a branch of the Academy that I respect a great deal and is at times protective of its own artists, and I get that,” says Haynes. “It’s not my ambition to come stomping in there, but I’m proud of the movie. I want it to be seen, hopefully in theaters — that’s really what I’m focusing on.”
