David Bowie: Finding Fame

Coming fifty years after the release of "Space Oddity," this 90-minute documentary traces the pivotal years when David Jones reinvented himself as David Bowie, chronicling the restless creativity and ambition that preceded the creation of his iconic alter ego. Through archival footage, rare recordings, and interviews with contemporaries, the film illuminates the musical experiments, theatrical influences, and personal decisions that shaped his rise, offering an intimate portrait of an artist in transition rather than the glam-rock legend he would become.

The narrative explores how Bowie navigated the London music scene of the late 1960s, balancing commercial pressures with a relentless drive to innovate, and highlights moments of risk, reinvention, and collaboration that foreshadowed his later stardom. It is a compelling look at the formative chapters of a career defined by constant evolution, capturing both the uncertainty and the audacity behind one of rock’s most transformative figures.
