KPSU Presents: CHRISTMAS ON MARS for NW Film Center's "Reel Music" Festival

CHRISTMAS ON MARS
US 2008
Director: WAYNE COYNE, BRAD BEESLEY, GEORGE SALISBURY
Wed Jan 14 9:00 PM

Seven years in the making, this wild science fiction extravaganza features original music by psychedelic rock band The Flaming Lips and performances by all the band's members. It's Christmastime, and the colonization of Mars is underway. When an oxygen generator and a gravity control pod malfunction, Major Syrtis (Steven Drozd) and his team (including Michael Ivins) fear the worst. Meanwhile, a compassionate alien superbeing (frontman Wayne Coyne) arrives, inspiring and helping the isolated astronauts. (82 min)

Sponsored by KPSU, Portland's College Radio.

Welcome to our 26th annual celebration of music and film. There is something for everyone here, whether your passion is jazz, rock, reggae, bluegrass or nerdcore—or perhaps the myriad ways in which sound and image, music and culture, intersect to reflect human experience. We hope you find this mixture of new and old, familiar and strange, full of inspiration and discovery. Our special thanks go to WILLAMETTE WEEK and MUSIC MILLENNIUM for helping us make it all happen. Enjoy.
