“David Bowie is Here”
A documentary film about an exhibition ? Well if the Film is about David Bowie you can understand why. At 19.00 on Tuesday 13th August 2013 the Victoria & Albert Museum in London hosted simultaneously with 200 specially selected cinemas across the UK a live broadcast of “David Bowie is happening now”. The advertising campaign was very low key and the UK film poster that accompanied the extremely limited (one night only) cinema release is truly scarce with this event British double crown (issued by the V & A) even scarcer. It really is stunning with classic Chris Duffy image of Bowie in Aladdin Sane persona. Originally rolled this incredibly rare example displays to excellent effect with minimal handling wear. These posters, for this unique event are unbelievably hard to come brand represent a fantastic item of David Bowie memorabilia that encompasses his film and music career.

“It’s not a biography. It’s a senses attack”
Undoubtedly, one of the great music biography films; David Bowie as presented by Brett Morgen in “Moonage Daydream”. Technically it’s not a biography but a loud, vivid, exploration and celebration of Bowie’s life, art, and music. Made up of clips cleverly edited together and enhanced to make this a cinematic experience. This original 2022 one-sheet designed by Empire Design and featuring an iconic Bianca Moran Parkes Bowie image is a truly great find due to the very limited cinematic release in art-house and small independent cinemas. Presented in near perfect unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition – truly stunning, and a perfect compliment to the ground breaking musician. Incredibly scarce with a very low print run this really is an exciting item of rock / movie collectible from one of the most influential icons of modern pop culture…David Bowie.
Trivia: The documentary includes a lot of David Bowie‘s unpublished personal material, including photos, home videos and some interviews on TV. Director Brett Morgen talked in person with Bowie’s widow, top model Iman, for asking permission to use the material as tribute to Bowie. Although in a first moment she was reluctant to this idea, she was convinced by Morgen’s previous works Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015) and Jane (2017) about singer Kurt Cobain and scientist Jane Goodall, where Morgen used personal material from each other to create artistic collages as tribute to them, instead to use in the way to make a classic biographic documentary.
