Before David Bowie became a massive international rock icon, he logged his first movie role in Michael Armstrong's The Image, an obscure, black-and-white short horror film that has just been officially released for the first time online by the Wall Street Journal. Directed by Michael Armstrong, who could go on to helm such cult horror movies as Mark of the Devil and House of the Long Shadows, the film stars then-unknown actor Michael Byrne as an artist whose painting of a young man seemingly comes to life. Bowie was just 20 years old when the film was released and is magnetic as the elegant ghoul who torments his creator. “It got an X-certificate. I think it was the first short that got an X-certificate. For its violence, which in itself was extraordinary,” Armstong told the Wall Street Journal, which was given permission to post the film in its entirety by the David Bowie Archive.

David Bowie passed away yesterday at the age of 69, according to an official Facebook page and confirmed by his son, filmmaker Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code, Warcraft). Bowie was a giant in the music business, first hitting the top of the charts in 1969 and continuing to innovate as he reinvented his appearance and his musical stylings over the decades. His songs began appearing on film soundtracks almost immediately and eventually more than 450 movies and television shows would feature his music. As often happens with pop stars, Bowie also began a concurrent acting career, with his first screen appearance coming in a 1967 short film titled The Image.

Mosaïques Festival Of World Culture, London
World cinema festivals might be more common these days, but this one shows you the parts of the globe British festivals don't reach, ie: the French post-colonial landscape. There's quality cinema here from north and west Africa, south-east Asia and the Middle East, much of it produced with French support. Whisper With The Wind is set in Iraq, mind you, and deals with a clandestine radio messenger, while Brazil's The Famous And The Dead is a dreamy Bob Dylan-themed thriller. Closer to home there's London River, in which Brenda Blethyn and Malian actor Sotigui Kouyaté play parents brought together by the 7/7 bombings.
