Pere Ubu – It Came from Outer Space
A young astronomer sees a spaceship crashland in the Arizona desert. He tracks down the occupants who can adopt human appearance at will. The aliens just want to go home…
Another unique tour from MBM saw influential American alternative rock band Pere Ubu perform its own score to a rare screening of the 1953 classic Sci-Fi film in its original red/green anaglyphic stereoscopic 3D format.
Using a parallel, synched soundtrack technique which removes most of the original musical score while preserving the dialog, a format conceived and produced by Reality Film’s Marek Pytel, Pere Ubu generates a throbbing, dark and atmospheric replacement score which features additional dialog and voice-over narrative restored from Bradbury’s ‘lost’ script treatments.
