On Maundy Thursday, the world premiere of the Danish film "Welcome to the Moon" will be held in Katuaq, Nuuk.
The film is Oscar-nominated director Aske Bang's feature film debut, and the director has chosen to hold the premiere of the film in Nuuk to show sympathy:
"I have chosen to hold the world premiere in Greenland to show my sympathy for the Greenlandic people, who have been threatened by the world's most powerful man for a long time."
"Greenland people need to relax and get away from the many threats the country has been exposed to. We are coming to spread joy, laughter & good vibes," says Aske Bang in a press release.
Welcome to the Moon is about film director Bo, who is invited to his friend Martin's bachelor party on the remote island of Møn. Bo carries a heavy secret that threatens to destroy their friendship, and over the weekend strange things start to happen.

Aske Bang and the film's other lead Stanislav Sevcik will visit Katuaq in connection with the screening of the film on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
