IMDb profile

Slow Century is a 2 disc DVD retrospective of the band Pavement filmed and compiled by filmmaker Lance Bangs. The first disc contains Slow Century itself, a 90 minute documentary with extensive interviews with the band members (as well as their friend Thurston Moore) and considerable live concert footage from across their career featuring throughout; indeed, the film concludes with the encore from their final live show, held in London in 1999. There is also a presentation subtitled Cinema Stars (written using a star symbol rather than the word "star") featuring all their videos, as well as alternate and rejected clips for 3 songs. Interspersed throughout are brief clips from home movies, television appearances and behind-the-scenes footage. The 2nd disc is entirely comprised of live footage with a full concert from Seattle (7/1999) and edited highlights from the group's 2nd last ever show in Manchester (11/1999). Across the two discs, there is a total of six hours of footage. There is band member and director commentary on each video, multiple angles on the 2nd disc, and it is presented in Dolby stereo
