Just a couple of weeks before long-running indie favorites Low play the Pitchfork Music Festival, the Gene Siskel Film Center will screen the band's documentary, Low Movie (How to Quit Smoking), on June 28 and June 29. The screenings constitute the Chicago premiere of the film.

Here's a description of the film, via the Siskel Center website:

Duluth-based cult band Low, led by Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker, is showcased through this complete collection of the music videos made by the band over their twenty-year history in collaboration with filmmaker Philip Harder, assembled from original 16mm negatives, including both new and old material and outtakes.
