Moonbug – The Movie

21/07/2019, 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

As part of Beatwave 2019 we are over the moon to announce a rare re-viewing of ‘Moonbug – The End of Apollo’ – a riveting docu-film created by Hastings filmmaker and photographer combo – Steve Pyke & Nichola Bruce originally for the 40th anniversary of the moonlanding. The movie will be shown Sunday lunchtime, timed to finish just before the live line-up starts… a perfect accompaniment for brunch and a lingering hangover..

“It is a rare and wonderful experience to visit with the men who went
to the moon. Steve Pyke has done it and thanks to Nichola Bruce’s
compelling film MOONBUG everyone else can come along”

Andrew Chaikin, author of A Man on the Moon

more info:
Bitten by the ‘Moonbug’, photographer Steve Pyke set out on a journey across America in his search to meet and photograph the Apollo space pioneers. A journey in which he was to meet the adventurers, risk takers and dreamers who were behind one of the most historic endeavours of our time.

From living rooms, and moonscape deserts, to Cape Canaveral, Steve captures these men in frank, revealing portraits, while unravelling their very personal and divergent memories.

Documented by filmmaker Nichola Bruce with rare archive footage
and an original score by Matt Johnson (The The), Moonbug is both a photographic road trip and an exploration of how photographs become signposts for history.
