Acting
A documentary about the frontman for 16 Horsepower and Wovenhand, David Eugene Edwards.
In 2004 Wim Vandekeybus shot a 52-minute feature based on his successful performance Blush. Carried by the music of David Eugene Edwards and Woven Hand and with texts by the Flemish author Peter Verhelst, Blush is a dazzling voyage swinging between the heavenly landscapes of Corsica and the slummiest depths of Brussels. It is an exploration of the savage subconscious, of mythical forests, of conflicting instincts, of imagination, where the body has reasons unknown to the mind. In dance sequences of attraction, confrontation and repulsion the performers take on animal metamorphoses…
A cinematographic adaptation of the performance "Puur", from Ultima Vez/Wim Vandekeybus.
The DVDs contain all of their videos, a few songs performed live (including a cover of Joy Division's 'Heart And Soul'), a handful of interviews & mini-documentaries, and songs mixed into surround sound (including another Joy Division song, '24 Hours'). These DVDs cover 16 Horsepower's career from 1993-2004.
A stunningly-photographed, thought-provoking road trip into the heart of the poor white American South. Singer Jim White takes his 1970 Chevy Impala through a gritty terrain of churches, prisons, truckstops, biker bars and coalmines. Along the way are roadside encounters with present-day musical mavericks the Handsome Family, David Johansen, David Eugene Edwards of 16 Horsepower and old-time banjo player Lee Sexton, and grisly stories from the cult Southern novelist Harry Crews.
Contains great live performances and rare off-stage footage to give a real sense of what Sixteen Horsepower stood for as a live band. The beautiful registration by the RTBF of the 2002 concert at 'Le Cirque Royal' - Belgium on disc 1. On disc 2 a compilation of different documents: the 1996 Rockpalast show in Germany, a rehearsal in David's hometown Denver, an impression of the last US-tour in 2004, ...and finally a unique souvenir of what would turn out to be their last concert ever, July 17th 2004, Antwerp, Belgium.
