The 'Encyclopedia Asthmatica' is a collection of Asthmatic Kity Records visuals; the odd, the sublime, and the delectable. It also includes stop-animation menus meticulously captured from the artistic imagination of Gala and Zack Bent, set to characteristic music arrangements by jingle-virtuoso Rafter Roberts. Nearly all of the Asthmatic Kitty Records' roster - featuring SUFJAN STEVENS, CASTANETS, MY BRIGHTEST DIAMOND and SHAPES AND SIZES and many of their friends, make an appearance somewhere on this DVD: from the playful choreography of Think Dance Colective frolickingin shoes made of bread to the music of Half-handed Cloud, to the lovely abstraction of Sufjan Stevens' projectionist, Deborah Johnson; from the haunting and raw post-apocalypse video fuzz of live Castanets, to the crisp color footage of My Brightest Diamond.
