ABOUT THE FILM
Ten-year-old Tom is different from other kids. He doesn’t like change, red things and anything loud quickly becomes too much for him. But his specialty is space. When he is sent with his siblings to spend a month at their grandparents’ rural home, it feels like landing on another planet.
Framing the visit as a “Mars mission,” Tom navigates unfamiliar terrain, eccentric grandparents, and his own fears with imagination and heart. Greetings from Mars is a tender, funny film about discovery, understanding, and how seeing the world differently can be its own kind of superpower.
Tickets: $12 at the door • $14 w/online fee
ABOUT THE TWIN CITIES GERMAN FILM FESTIVAL
This year’s Twin Cities German Film Festival invites audiences to explore stories of belonging, identity, and reinvention. This year’s films revolve around characters in motion: across borders, through grief, toward connection, and into self-discovery. The festival, produced by the Germanic-American Institute in collaboration with the Goethe-Institut, celebrates the courage to rebuild, the humor to adapt, and the shifting borders that define modern life.
Relased 2024
