Dir. Ethan Silverman / 2023 / USA / 1hr 40mins

AngelHeaded Hipster tells the story of Marc Bolan’s rise to fame as the lead singer of the legendary T-Rex. In 2022 a group of artists and musicians came together to re-record a collection of Bolan’s classic tracks – including well-known classics like Get It On, 20th Century Boy and Cosmic Dancer.

The film features contributions from Nick Cave, David Bowie, U2, Elton John, Ringo Starr, Joan Jett, Father John Misty, Beth Orton, Billy Idol and many more, all on hand to celebrate Bolan’s work in interviews and/or performances. These combine with archival footage to trace his life story from his teenage years digging through Carnaby Street dustbins with Bowie to his tragic death at the age of 29.

The release is timed around the anniversary of Bolan’s death, which is marked each year with a number of events organised by the many, many fan groups. This film and event are all supported by the Bolan estate.

Presented in association with the Showroom Cinema.
