Moon

Duncan Jones, has won yet more accolades for his directorial debut Moon - collecting three of the most high profile awards at Spain's Sitges film festival.
 
Jones' picture, which focuses on an astronaut - played by Sam Rockwell - living alone on a Moon base, has proved a cultural smash, and has won the new filmmaker praise throughout the industry.
 
His success continued at the Spanish movie festival on Sunday (11Oct09), when the venture picked up prizes for best film, best screenplay and best actor.
 
Jones, who is the son of David Bowie, previously won the top award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in Scotland in June (09), when Moon was named Best New British Film.

Moon premiered at the Sundance film festival earlier in the year, where it was purchased for distribution in the US by Sony Picture Classics.

The filmmaker kicked off his career as a writer and producer on projects such as Whistle. In the pipeline for Jones are Mute and Escape From the Deep.
