00:00I forgot all my songs, the words now were wrong, and I burned my guitar in the rain.
00:23My name is Alan Sparhawk, and I'm Amy Parker, and we have a band called Low, and for twenty
00:29years now, we've been working with director Phil Harder.
00:32I met them just before you put out your debut record, and we made the first music video
00:38out on the frozen Lake Superior.
00:39Yep, it froze that year, it was really stunning ice forms, and the camera kept freezing up
00:47because I think the wind chill was thirty below zero.
00:49And I got a concussion.
00:50Yes, you slipped on the ice.
00:51That's right.
00:53And over the years, we've worked on several videos, video projects, films, mutations of
01:05what music videos are and what films are, and a mix of things that were part of videos,
01:11part of some films we did together.
01:13Good afternoon, what brings you to Canada?
01:17We're a band.
01:19Oh, musicians, eh?
01:21Yeah.
01:23You can pull your vehicle up right over there and wait for further instructions.
01:39I feel it's sort of a compendium of a long relationship.
01:53We worked together for two decades, and this film is a compilation of all that material,
01:58all the 16mm negatives, recut and put together for a low experience.
02:04Two decades of not knowing what the hell we're doing.
