Interview: Brett Morgen talks about Bowie in Berlin + "Moonage Daydream"

Time to take a trip inside the mind of the one and only David Bowie. This incredible, mind-blowing Moonage Daydream documentary is currently playing in IMAX theaters around the world, the latest documentary from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Brett Morgen. The film premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival this summer (where I first saw it and raved about it in my review), and it recently stopped by the Film Festival of Toronto. After seeing it in Cannes, I immediately emailed to arrange a special screening of the film in Berlin. Anyone who knows Bowie knows he has a very intimate and important connection to Berlin - he lived in the city from 1976 to 1979 and produced a number of one-off albums there with Brian Eno. For the special event, I did a video interview with director Brett Morgen on Zoom discussing the making of the film and Bowie's connection to the city and how it impacted his life. After initially playing on the IMAX screen that night, it's now available to watch online. I wanted to share it with everyone.

Here is our full Zoom video interview with director Brett Morgen discussing Moonage Daydream (in Berlin):

This video interview was created in Zoom after recording - editing choices are automatic! No control over who it shows once Zoom has created the video on its own. After much planning, we were able to hold an IMAX screening in Berlin on Friday September 9th - and it was a fantastic experience! The volume was up, the audience had a blast. This interview was originally created exclusively for this event, but I'm also happy to feature it on FirstShowing anyway. Director Brett Morgan (who you can also follow on Twitter @brettmorgen) is an award-winning and acclaimed documentary filmmaker - director of the films Ollie's Army, On the Ropes, The Kid Stays in the Picture, Chicago 10, Crossfire Hurricane, Cobain: Montage of Heck and Jane< /em> (another favorite) before. He spent years making this Bowie documentary, intending to create something else before doing this. The Bowie Estate gave him exclusive access to the entire archive of materials throughout Bowie's life - footage, photos, interviews and more. After this IMAX opening week, the doc will be shown in theaters around the world. For more information, visit the film's official website.
