Or maybe “Get Fluxed at the Hammer”? Either way, this holiday season the gift giving folks at Flux give us yet another stellar lineup of music videos and short films for 2009’s final Flux Screening Series at the Hammer. Featuring the world premiere of Mia Doi Todd’s “Open Your Heart” (directed by Michel Gondry and edited by my editing mentor Fernando Villena), as well as breakthrough music videos by Charlotte Gainsbourg & Beck (dir. Keith Schofield madman behind Diesel’s “SFW XXX”!), Grizzly Bear (dir. Allison Schulnik), Ramona Falls (dir. Stefan Nadelman creator of Food Fight!), and Yeasayer (dir. Radical Friend) among others.

Filmmakers Michel Gondry, Keith Schofield, Allison Schulnik and Kirby McClure and Julia Grigorian of Radical Friend will be in attendance.

The evening’s festivities conclude with a special musical performance by Mia Doi Todd, Michel Gondry and friends.
