David Bowie, 1978. Allan Olley/Mirrorpix/Getty Images Cinephiles and well-heeled David Bowie fans in Germany will be “Heroes” just for one night on Valentine’s Day when a new immersive concert experience, Stage, debuts in Berlin’s Uber Arena during the Berlin Film Festival. Variety reports that the production pairs previously unseen footage of the artist, taken during his 1978 Isolar II World Tour, with added dramatic lighting. Filmmaker Brett Morgen discovered the footage while making his Moonage Daydream film.
The presentation will combine large-scale projections on three screens, as well as the use of transparent LED screens. Patrick Woodroffe, who has worked with the Rolling Stones and Elton John on their live presentations, designed the lighting. Audio engineer Paul Massey, who won the Oscar for Best Achievement in Sound Mixing in 2019 for Bohemian Rhapsody, mixed the music with 7.1 surround sound and spatial audio design.
Morgen, who will appear as a headlining speaker around that time at Berlinale’s European Film Market, collaborated on the film with Bowie’s estate, the Berlinale, and Rob Hallett’s Wonderworld.
