The Film Class That Fell to Earth

About This Movie

The Film Class That Fell to Earth offers a unique glimpse into a moment in time—when David Bowie graced the Memphis College of Art during his Aladdin Sane tour. This short documentary, crafted for a course led by Mike McCarthy, has this raw, student-made charm. You can feel the excitement in the air, a palpable connection to Bowie's androgynous energy. It’s not just about the music; it's about the atmosphere he created and the inspiration he sparked among young artists. The pacing is a bit uneven, like a student film should be, but that's part of its appeal. It captures that creative spirit and the almost dreamlike quality of Bowie's presence, making it a fascinating watch for anyone who appreciates the intersection of art and music.
