FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY: DAVID BOWIE EXHIBITION DOCUMENTARY AIRS ON THE BIG SCREEN
A unique insight into the Victoria and Albert Museum's groundbreaking, hugely popular David Bowie exhibition arrives on the big screen this month – when David Bowie Is shows at Cineworld Milton Keynes.
It featured more than 300 objects from the Bowie archive and the exhibition was the fastest-selling in the Victoria and Albert Museum's history.
More than 200,000 people saw the show here in the UK – 67,000 tickets were snapped up even before the doors opened on the remarkable collection.
The documentary – airing on Tuesday, November 18 was filmed on the closing night of the V&A exhibition in London. It was directed by Hamish Hamilton, the BAFTA award-winning director of the Academy Awards and the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The exhibition curators, Victoria Broackes and Geoffrey Marsh, provide a fascinating insight into the most memorable music videos and original costumes, as well as more personal items such as never-before-seen handwritten lyrics, album cover artwork, set designs and diary entries, which reveal the creativity and evolution of Bowie’s ideas.
In a statement, Victoria and Geoffrey said: “We are delighted that as this extraordinary exhibition travels the world, people will get the chance to immerse themselves in a cinematic experience from the original London show.
