Don’t miss the Q&A…

After you register for this screening, be sure to register for the follow-up event, Members-Only Q&A: The Sparks Brothers, featuring a conversation with director/producer Edgar Wright and featured subjects Ron and Russell Mael, moderated by Carrie Brownstein (Portlandia, The Nowhere Inn). (Friday, June 18 – 10:00 am PT)

Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch The Sparks Brothers in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media.

How can one rock band be successful, underrated, hugely influential and criminally overlooked all at the same time? Edgar Wright’s debut documentary The Sparks Brothers, which features commentary from celebrity fans Flea, Jane Wiedlin, Beck, Jack Antonoff, Jason Schwartzman, Neil Gaiman and more, takes audiences on a musical odyssey through five weird and wonderful decades with brothers/bandmates Ron and Russell Mael celebrating the inspiring legacy of Sparks: your favorite band’s favorite band.

From Focus Features, The Sparks Brothers will be in select theaters June 18.

 
2021, 135 minutes, color | Directed by Edgar Wright | Featuring Ron Mael and Russell Mael | Produced by Nira Park, Edgar Wright, George Hencken, Laura Richardson
