Duncan Jones’ Moon has stormed the 42nd Sitges Film Festival of Catalonia.

Though going up against excellent competition such as Mr. Nobody, Enter the Void and Zombieland, Jones’ much revered story managed to pull in the awards for ‘Best Picture’, ‘Best Actor’ (Sam Rockwell), ‘Best Screenplay’ (Nathan Parker), ‘Best Art Direction’ (Tony Noble).

Perhaps most interesting is that Jones himself didn’t pull in the ‘Best Director’ award, which went to Brillante Mendoza for Kinatay. Nonetheless, congratulations to Duncan Jones for a brilliant film that is receiving appropriate recognition.

Vincenzo Natali’s Splice also premiered there to big applause, and subsequently won the Sitges’ coveted ‘Best F/X’ award.
