11 July 2022, 16:40 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Moonage Daydream, the "first film to be officially sanctioned by David Bowie’s estate", has been given a September release date following its premiere at Cannes Film Festival in May.

Today (11 July) it's been revealed that Moonage Daydream will be arriving in cinemas and IMAX worldwide on 16 September. The film is the first to "be officially sanctioned by David Bowie's estate", and is directed by Brett Morgen.

Prior to its premiere at Cannes Film Festival in May, it was revealed that Morgen had "unfiltered access to Bowie’s personal archives and … unearthed hundreds of hours of never-before seen 35mm and 16mm footage, and was able to assemble the performances from these original camera masters. Accordingly, all of the performances presented in the film will appear for the first time."

Moonage Daydream has been in the works for five years, and is described as a "feature-length experiential cinematic odyssey that explores Bowie’s creative, musical and spiritual journey. Told through sublime, kaleidoscopic, never-before-seen footage, performances, and music, the film is guided by Bowie’s narration."

As well as directing the film, Morgen wrote, produced and edited the film after being given access to Bowie's archives by his estate in 2017.

Moonage Daydream will arrive in cinemas and IMAX on 16 September.
