Sound on Screen: Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars

Tuesday, July 25 at 7 PM

“The concert’s the thing, and there we see this amazing phenomenon in full glory, prancing like some vaguely benign princeling at his hypnotised fellowers’ behest.”
— Guardian

KPAC presents ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS as part of our new Sound on Screen series featuring films all about music! One of the most iconic performances in the history of modern music, David Bowie’s retirement of his Ziggy Stardust alter ego in front of 5,000 fans at London’s Hammersmith Odeon was captured on film by award-winning director D.A. Pennebaker on July 3, 1973. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of this event, the original, uncut version of the film has been restored in 4K and with a 5.1 theatrical mix and will feature never-before-seen performances with legendary guitar player Jeff Beck. ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDERS FROM MARS: THE MOTION PICTURE 50TH ANNIVERSARY is the closest audiences will come to being there on that unforgettable night 50 years ago.

Rated: PG | 1 hr 43 min | Tickets: $7 Adult or $3 Child or Film Pass
