Mit seiner Kunstfigur Ziggy Stardust hatte sich der junge David Bowie unsterblich gemacht. Als er am 3.7. 1973 sein letztes Konzert mit seiner Band Spiders from Mars gab, wurde dieser Ziggy Stardust auf der Bühne symbolisch zu Grabe getragen. Kein geringerer als Donn Alan Pennebacker dokumentierte das Konzert. Am 7. März habt ihr die einmalige Gelegenheit Pennebakers Konzertfilm in einer digitalisierten und remasterten Fassung im Kino International zu erleben! Zusätzlich zeigen wir eine neue 30minütige Doku über Bowie.

 

 

There's a starman waiting in the sky.
He'd like to come and meet us.

Directed by pioneering rock film-maker D.A. Pennebaker, this documentary and concert film captures Bowie and his band, The Spiders From Mars, performing at London’s Hammersmith Odeon on July 3, 1973. It was at this now-infamous concert that Bowie made a sudden announcement, shocking fans and media alike by stating “it’s the last show we’ll ever do”. Rather than marking his withdrawal from music, his declaration signalled the retirement of the Ziggy Stardust persona, and the end of a hugely influential chapter in Bowie’s own story.

In addition to the concert movie, the evening will include a new film produced by MOJO magazine exclusively for these screenings. This film will feature MOJO’s Editor-In-Chief Phil Alexander in conversation with The Spiders From Mars drummer Woody Woodmansey, whose own acclaimed memoir, My Life With Bowie: Spider From Mars, has just been published by Sidgwick & Jackson. As well as re-living that fateful night in 1973, Woody will provide further insight into what he describes as “the adventure of a lifetime.”
