Trailer For David Bowie Doc, Bowie: The Final Act

In four weeks’ time, it’s exactly 10 years since the music world lost a legend, David Bowie. His final album, Blackstar, was released just two days before his death and Bowie: The Final Act is its story.

Dogwoof will be bringing out the film later this month and today we get a look at the UK Trailer.

Bowie: The Final Act is directed by Jonathan Stiasny. The film dives into the story behind that iconic Blackstar album with archival footage and interviews with people close to David.

David Bowie was more than a musician. He constantly reinvented himself and for his final album the change was even more profound.

Synopsis | Coinciding with the 10th anniversary of the tragic passing of David Bowie (January 2026), this film will reveal how Bowie’s last chapter became a resurrection, culminating in the haunting and transformative Blackstar, an album that redefined his legacy and offered a profound metaphor for his life, death, and the mysterious power of creativity. The film traces his journey from the professional challenges of the 1990s, to delivering Glastonbury’s most legendary headline set at the turn of the millennium, to crafting Blackstar – the final breath of one of the world’s greatest artists, released just two days before his passing. With it, Bowie cemented his place in history, both as Lazarus rising from the dead and a star blazing with mystery – both an ending and a beginning.

Drawing on Rogan Productions’ expertise in crafting distinctive music stories (Abba: Against the Odds, Freddie Mercury: The Final Act), the film will offer profound insight into the remarkable late-career transformation of one of the most trailblazing creative visionaries of our time. Through rare archive and intimate interviews, and guided by Bowie’s own words and music, it will bring new meaning to an artist who has long resisted definition.

Bowie: The Final Act will be in UK and Irish Cinemas on 26th December.
