Amidst their record breaking year in 2024, the renowned band Coldplay have started 2025 off with a maintained momentum with a new project called ‘A Film for the Future‘.
This 44-minute feature film is a companion film for Coldplay’s worldwide No. 1 album, Moon Music. The film was created by over 150 different visual artists from 45 countries. Each artist was given a handful of music snippets from Moon Music and asked to create corresponding visuals. There were no rules or guidelines, and no knowledge of other artists’ creations. The collection as a whole makes for almost an hour of outstanding visual themes and creative ideas.
“a kaleidoscopic patchwork quilt – a 44-minute multimedia tapestry.”
“It was a huge privilege to have the bird’s eye view of such an ambitious project, working with so many incredible animators and filmmakers all working independently of each other. The final film is simply jaw-dropping and I can’t wait for Coldplay’s fans to see it.”
Executive Producer Ben Mor, who also directed Coldplay and Beyoncé in 2016’s Hymn For The Weekend video, says
The film will premiere worldwide on YouTube on January 22, with special 360-degree screenings of the film taking place at Lightroom in London, Manchester and Seoul. As well as being available to watch worldwide at youtube.com/coldplay, fans can enjoy the film at a limited run of exclusive 360-degree screenings at Lightroom London, Lightroom at Factory International at Aviva Studios, Manchester and Lightroom Seoul. In each venue, state-of-the-art audio technology and 11m high projection across 4 walls and the floor will allow fans to be fully immersed in the visual and audio experience.
To accompany the project, the band have also partnered with Microsoft to create an AI-powered A Film For The Future remix experience, launching on January 22 at afftf.coldplay.com
