Shadowplayers is a feature-length documentary tracing  the
early history of iconic Manchester record label Factory  Records,
between 1978 and 1981. The film was made by director  James
Nice.

The facts and fictions are explored through candid  interviews
with 22 key participants, including Anthony H. Wilson  (founder)
and Peter Saville (designer), as well as musicians  including
Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order), Vini Reilly (Durutti  Column),
Simon Topping and Martin Moscrop (A Certain Ratio),  Chris
Watson (Cabaret Voltaire) and Howard Devoto  (Buzzcocks/
Magazine).

Other interviews include members of  Section 25, Crispy Ambulance, The Names, 
Minny Pops, Swamp Children and  Thick Pigeon, as well as other eyewitnesses 
and insiders such as Richard  Boon, Annik Honore, Lindsay Reade, Richard 
Jobson, Graham Massey and  Killing Joke.

The film runs for more than 2 hours and is divided  into 19 chapters,
covering subjects such as The Factory Club, sleeve  art and graphic
design, genius producer Martin Hannett, the riot at the  Joy Division
concert at Bury in April 1980, the Factory Benelux  connection, the
tragic suicide of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, the  beginnings of
New Order, and the decline of the post-punk culture in  1981.

Shadowplayers is based exclusively on new spoken word  interviews, with 
soundtrack music by Section 25 and New Order, and rare  images and graphics. The 
cover art is based on the first Factory design  (Fac 1) by Peter Saville from 
1978.

DVD extras include individual  profiles for each interviewee.
