ULTRA-RARE 35MM THEATRICAL SCREENING! NEW FEATURE FILM, NOT ON DVD!

Psychedelic rock band the Flaming Lips present CHRISTMAS ON MARS: A FANTASTICAL FILM FREAKOUT FEATURING THE FLAMING LIPS, a glorious science fiction film that marks the directorial debut of the Lips' visionary frontman Wayne Coyne.

It's Christmastime, and the colonization of Mars is underway. When an oxygen generator and a gravity control pod malfunction, Major Syrtis (the Lips' Steven Drozd) and his team (including the Lips' Michael Ivins) fear the worst. Syrtis also hallucinates about the birth of a baby, and many other strange things. Meanwhile, a compassionate alien superbeing (Coyne) arrives, inspiring and helping the isolated astronauts.

Seven years in the making, CHRISTMAS ON MARS features original music by the Flaming Lips ("The greatest US band today" - The Guardian), with acting performances by all band members, and many others from their Oklahoma City-based team. Comedian Fred Armisen (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE) and actor Adam Goldberg (DAZED AND CONFUSED) also appear, as do Isaac Brock of band Modest Mouse, and performer Steve Burns of the band Steve Burns and the Struggle (who had also appeared in children's television show BLUE'S CLUES). George Salisbury and Austin's own Bradley Beesley co-directed the movie with Coyne.
