The 13th Floor Elevators Story
The complete feature documentary.
The film
History through the voices that made it.
Most documentaries tell history by looking back.
The 13th Floor Elevators Story tells history through the voices of the people who made it.
Produced over fourteen years, this oral history brings together the surviving members of the 13th Floor Elevators, their families, friends, and eyewitnesses to preserve one of the most influential stories in American rock music.
There are no actors. No dramatic reenactments. No narration telling viewers what to think.
Only the people who lived the story.
As the years passed, some of those voices were lost. Several participants died during production, while other rare interviews, personal film footage, and photographs were entrusted to this project so their memories could be preserved. Together they form a historical record that could never be assembled again.
