“Hooked to the silver screen”
Photographer Brian Rasic has been in touch with details of a Bowie Day and an exhibition of his Bowie photographs in Skopje, Macedonia.
Here’s the official blurb.
The first edition of Skopje Cinema City film festival for music documentaries in Skopje, Macedonia, will welcome a wide range of documentaries that will explore the lives of people who make music, express themselves through music and the creativity behind the music. The festival will open with a tribute to one of the greatest heroes of popular music and culture in general, David Bowie.
Onits first day, the festival will host a photo exhibition of David Bowie photographs by renowned photographer Brian Rasic, London, UK, and will screen two documentaries, the legendary “Cracked Actor” by Alan Yentob and “Berlin – A Journey Inspired by David Bowie” by Villi Asgeirsson.
Afterwards, a listening vinyl party will be held in the location of Suli An. All of the screenings and events will take place at the heart of the Old Bazaar in the city, Suli An, an oriental building where the Arts Academy in Skopje is located.
Naturally, it is not an easy task to grasp Bowie’s enormous influence over the decades in a single day as his influence has spread far beyond art, music, film and fashion. The Bowie Tribute Day at the festival, with its various activities, will provide a glimpse at the tremendous talents that Bowie has shown through the years, but most importantly, it will show the importance his music and legacy has had here in this community, in this part of the world.
