"Endearingly ragged...destined for cult status...abetted with homemade-looking but sometimes lyrical effects." - Andy Webster, THE NEW YORK TIMES

"It's basically as weird as you'd hoped." - Isaac Butler, NEW YORK MAGAZINE

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, The Hebrew Hammer) also appear, as do Isaac Brock of the band Modest Mouse, and performer Steve Burns of the band Steve Burns and the Struggle (who had also appeared in the children's television show Blue's Clues). Bradley Beesley and George Salisbury co-directed the movie with Mr. Coyne.
It's Christmas time, 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 discover the true meaning of Christmas.
Freaky man ... real freaky.
