Film | Jingle Bell Rocks! (2014): Live Performances, Interviews, Rare Archive Footage (virtual)


In Jingle Bell Rocks!, director Mitchell Kezin delves into the minds of some of the world's most legendary Christmas music fanatics and hits the road to hang with his holiday heroes - including hip hop legend Joseph "Rev Run" Simmons of RUN-D.M.C., The Flaming Lips' frontman Wayne Coyne, filmmaker John Waters, bebopper Bob Dorough, L.A. DJ and musicologist Dr. Demento, and Calypso legend The Mighty Sparrow. In his search for the twelve best, underappreciated Christmas songs ever recorded, Kezin both asks and answers the question, "Why, when Christmas rolls around, are we still stuck cozying up with Bing Crosby under a blanket of snow?" "Amazing. Touching. Original. Psychotronic... Jingle Bell Rocks! is all that and a little more"- La Presse "A surprisingly bittersweet doc."- The Hollywood Reporter "A charming, witty film."- The Chicago Tribune The film is available for viewing anytime of the day and night until Dec 31st.
