WAMP

Yellowknife’s size means we all too often miss out on fantastic films that don’t have the audience for widespread northern release. WAMP is pleased to change this... If only for 9 days.

A movie that epitomises this, and one of the highlights of the 2010 film festival is the critically acclaimed Moon. Written and Directed by David Bowie’s son Duncan Jones and staring Sam Rockwell and Kevin Spacey this cinematic science fiction thriller has become an unexpected hit and has earned Jones the respect of critics and moviegoers alike.

Moon took the British Independent Film Awards by storm winning “Best British Independent Film” amongst others. More recently Moon and Jones have been nominated for the 2010 BAFTA awards in “Outstanding British Film” and “Outstanding Debut By A British Writer, Director or Producer”.

See if you think Moon deserves the BAFTA: Monday February 8th at Capitol Theatre.

The 3rd annual Yellowknife Film Festival will include films from over the Northwest Territories, Canada and the world.
