commissioned for the 2006 Sequences Real Time Festival

What exciting musical movements grow on both sides of the US-Canadian border, and where do their aesthetics converge and diverge? This curated "Field Guide" of music videos and short films takes an irreverent look at the creative yield above and below the 49th parallel. Each chapter juxtaposes one country's output against the other's, through such classic textbook themes as Evolution, Wildlife, and Industry. Indie rock, techno, nouveau psychedelia, freak folk, and art rock music videos join a lineup of experimental short films to form a survey of two vast cultural landscapes.

Featuring videos and films by Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Smog, Fiery Furnaces, Wolf Parade, Deerhoof, Chad Van Gaalen, We Are Wolves, Gentleman Reg, They Shoot Horses Don't They?, Caribou, Cam Archer, Deco Dawson, and others.
