The third and final film by Thomas Wright to be restored by Artifacture Laboratories.

Shot on 16mm in 1991, just a year before Wright’s death, Low Tide is a gorgeously textured, newly restored film-essay documenting a short walk in coastal South Carolina. Low Tide exemplifies Wright’s approach to filmmaking and his interest in memory, the natural world, and the ways humanity encroaches upon them both.

A companion piece to 'Low Tide: A Newly Restored Work by Thomas Wright', Low Tide DLC tells the story of another of Thomas Wright's lost films: 'Lowlands: Summer '88,' an impressionistic formal study comprised and sound and landscapes and textures made during travels through the United States in the spring of 1989.
