Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - 4K Restoration

More than half a century after David Bowie famously retired his most iconic alter-ego in front of 5,000 stunned fans at London's Hammersmith Odeon, the glam-rock deity returns to the big screen. The Hot Docs Cinema is hosting a special screening of the newly minted 4K restoration of *Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars*.

Originally captured on July 3, 1973, by legendary documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker (*Monterey Pop*, *Dont Look Back*), this digital restoration was overseen by his son, Frazer Pennebaker, complete with a meticulously remastered soundtrack. The concert captures the electrifying, science-fiction-inspired androgyny and unmatched coolness that defined Bowie's early 1970s peak.

What to Expect Immerse yourself in cinematic and music history with crystal-clear picture and sound. General admission tickets are $15, with member discounts available.
