A documentary about the Canadian noise band.

Why Are You Making All That Noise? is a story of contemporaries who in 1965 formed the Nihilist Spasm Band. Their story encompasses thirty five years of art and performance. Don Alexander introduces a video style that reflects the band's abandon of the disciplines of time and genre.

Various unrelated vignettes, often juxtaposing sound and image.

"The whole film are non-art portraits of people in which they do what they want with this hat – and therefore, act or stand in front of my camera. It’s only love: therefore it can’t harm you". Joyce Wieland.
