The Factory is dead. Long live the Factory! Many have tried to replicate Andy Warhol’s über-eccentric party haunt Campbell-Soup-can-style, but it remains unrivaled. More successful in bearing the torch are those who captured it on celluloid for posterity. Warhol chum and lover Danny Smith often kept his film rolling after hours. Then he disappeared. His films remained unseen until his niece, Esther Robinson, used them to create Walk Into the Sea, a rare peek inside the Factory. It screens at the Institute of Contemporary Art (100 Northern Avenue, Boston, 617.478.3100) on Saturday at 2 and 5 p.m. and on Sunday at 4 p.m. Robinson will answer questions after the movie on Sunday, and stick around to catch three of Williams’s shorts at 7:30 p.m. There’s live music accompaniment. Get tickets ($9/$7 for Walk Into the Sea, $10/$8 for Danny Williams’s Factory Films; $18/$13 for both) at www.icaboston.org or 617.478.3103.
