A Sherman Arts hosted event.
"Christmas on Mars" The Flaming Lips film that Wayne Coyne made. It features ADAM GOLDBERG, WAYNE COYNE, ELIJAH WOOD, FRED ARMISEN (of SNL) and other MEMBERS OF FLAMING LIPS. It also features music from FLAMING LIPS.
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. Seven years in the making, Christmas on Mars features original music by the Flaming Lips ("The greatest U.S. 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, Two Days in Paris) 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). Bradley Beesley and George Salisbury co-directed the movie with Mr. Coyne.
It's Christmastime, and the colonization of Mars is underway. However, 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.
It will be screened on Monday Nov. 10 th at NATIONAL MECHANICS as part of A.D AMOROSI Monday Night Club (also featuring music acts tba)., and at Marvelous Record Store on
