Super Furry Animals - American Sasquatch (Full Documentary)

'American Sasquatch' isn't your typical tour documentary; it's a raw, gonzo-style film capturing the Welsh rock band Super Furry Animals. Directed by Dyl Goch, the band's projectionist and an award-winning director, the documentary was shot over two years on a single camera. Providing an insider's perspective, it showcases the band's American tours, TV appearances, and recording sessions from 2002 to 2004, including the making of "Phantom Power."

Presented through the eyes of the road crew, the film features commentary from legendary guitar tech Les Morrison and others. Throughout the documentary, you'll find vox-pop interviews with American fans, and a dynamic sound design expertly crafted by SFA's Cian Ciaran. The documentary offers glimpses of musical peers such as Dead Meadow, Four Tet and Grandaddy, plus encounters with figures such as 1960s icon Wendy Flower and Newport rappers Goldie Looking Chain. Culminating with a montage of the iconic "The Man Don't Give a Fuck" performed live in Rio De Janeiro, the film unearths the band's evolution, challenges, and triumphs.

More than a tour film, 'American Sasquatch' delves into the heart of Super Furry Animals' artistic journey. In roughly one hour, it presents a multidimensional view of their camaraderie, growth, and unique musical fusion, resonating with dedicated fans and newcomers alike.
