In 1983, David Bowie, video director David Mallet and a skeleton crew traveled from London to the town of Carinda, Australia – population: 194 – to make the video for "Let's Dance," the title track from the singer's best-selling album. It was an unusual clip even for Bowie, as the video blended scenes of care-free carousing with a highly politicized statement on the plight of Australia's Aboriginal people. That dichotomy is explored in the fascinating short film Let's Dance: Bowie Down Under, set to premiere next week at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York.
