Coldplay announce forthcoming visual project, A Film For The Future
Coldplay have announced a new project called A Film For The Future; a visual companion to their latest album, Moon Music.
A Film For The Future was first teased on a car numberplate in the artwork to Coldplay’s 2019 album Everyday Life, with a section of the project appearing last year as the lyric video for the band’s single "feelslikeimfallinginlove."
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.
Executive Producer Ben Mor, who also directed Coldplay and Beyoncé in 2016’s Hymn For The Weekend video, says the result is “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," he continued. "The final film is simply jaw-dropping and I can’t wait for Coldplay’s fans to see it."
The film will premiere worldwide on YouTube on 22 January, with special 360-degree screenings of the film taking place at Lightroom in London, Manchester and Seoul. Tickets for the Lightroom screenings are available to purchase now here.
