Readers may remember at the beginning of the month we brought you news of the return of the Isle of Wight Film Festival.
We’re very proud to announce that On The Wight will not only be sponsoring the Feature Film Programme at the Festival, but also the British Première of ‘Vegas’, the multi-award winning film from the Norwegian director, Gunnar Vikene.
This beautifully shot film will be opening the Feature Film Programme of the Festival on Thursday 16th August 2012 (see below to book your tickets).
If your Norwegian is a bit rusty don’t worry, the film will have English subtitles. It’s hoped there will around six feature films in the programme.
Synopsis of Vegas
You don’t choose your family. You choose your friends. Vegas is the story of Thomas, Marianne and Terje – three teenagers with nowhere to go. After witnessing his mother being beaten up, Thomas is sent to a young people’s refuge. No one will tell him where his brother is, and Thomas vows to find him.
At the refuge, he meets Marianne, who is always screwing up, and Terje, who seems like he’s from another planet altogether. The three of them find they share a common dream, and together they embark on a journey of love, hate and trust. No one ends up where they planned, but everyone finds a home.
