Bowie: The Final Act (CTBA)

Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the tragic passing of David Bowie, The Final Act reveals how Bowie’s last chapter became a resurrection, culminating in the haunting and transformative Blackstar, an album that redefined his legacy and offered a profound metaphor for his life, death, and the mysterious power of creativity.  

The film traces his journey from the professional challenges of the 1990s, to delivering Glastonbury’s most legendary headline set at the turn of the millennium, to crafting Blackstar - the final breath of one of the world’s greatest artists, released just two days before his passing. With it, Bowie cemented his place in history, both as Lazarus rising from the dead and a star blazing with mystery - both an ending and a beginning.

Bowie: The Final Act offers insight into the remarkable late-career transformation of one of the most trailblazing creative visionaries of our time. Through rare archive and intimate interviews, and guided by Bowie’s own words and music, the film brings new meaning to an artist who has long resisted definition.
