A DOCUMENTARY film of the groundbreaking ‘David Bowie is’ exhibition at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum is to be screened in Penrith on Sunday.
Described by The Times as “stylish & outrageous” and The Guardian as “a triumph”, the exhibition features a remarkable collection of photographs, stage costumes, and other rare possessions from the David Bowie Archive.
The film takes the audience on an extraordinary journey through the exhibition, with special guests including Japanese fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto and Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker, to explore the stories behind key objects from Bowie’s artistic career.
