APOLLO REMEMBERED at Good Children Gallery, Opening April 13, 2013 6pm

MOONBUG - documentary film Screening as part of Film-O-Rama, Prytania Theater, April 11, 7:30 pm

The New Orleans Photo Alliance is proud to be partnering with Good Children Gallery and The New Orleans Film Society to bring acclaimed Photographer Steve Pyke for two events in April: Apollo Remembered (Pyke’s work about the men that walked on the moon) and Moonbug, a documentary film directed by Nichola Bruce. Moonbug documents Pyke’s travels in search for the trailblazers of one of mankind’s greatest achievements of the 20th century.

Apollo Remembered

Bitten by the ‘Moonbug’, photographer Steve Pyke set out on a journey across America 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 endeavors 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. Apollo Remembered will be opening Saurday, April 13th at 6pm, Good Children Gallery, 4037 St. Claude Ave., New Orleans, LA 70117.

Moonbug

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. Moonbug will screen as part of Film-O-Rama, Thursday April 11th, 7:30 pm at the Prytania Theater. There will be a Q&A with Steve Pyke after screening.

Talk: Steve Pyke and Nichola Bruce Q+A after 'Moonbug' film screening

24 November 2011

Sallis Benney Theatre, Brighton

A screening of the film MOONBUG followed by Q&A with director Nichola Bruce and photographer Steve Pyke.

A CINECITY talk in association with Photoworks

“What was it actually like to walk on the moon?” asks British photographer Steve Pyke. Winner of the Special Jury Award when it premiered at Houston International Film Festival earlier this year, MOONBUG explores the experiences of the science-fiction dream come true with the astronauts who made the bold step.

When photographer Steve Pyke went to meet and photograph the original team of the Apollo Space expedition, fellow Brit, Nichola Bruce went to film them. With archive footage of the Nasa moon landing and an original score from Matt Johnson (The The), Pyke shares intimate moments with his subjects and their frank accounts of the risk-taking, monumental journey.

An evolution of their collaborative touring exhibition ‘Man on the Moon’, MOONBUG is as much an exploration of memory and perception, and the documentation of time as it is space. The engaging, articulate astronauts offer philosophical insights into the motivations behind their participation and the bigger picture: how we understand and perceive the universe, where we fit in among these ‘signposts of history’, and the vulnerability of our lonely planet.

Sallis Benney Theatre, Brighton

8.00pm Thursday 24 November 2011

£6 / £5

Tickets available in advance from this website, or on the evening of the event at the Sallis Benney Theatre.
