Depeche Mode announces new live concert cinematic experience
Depeche Mode has announced a cinematic film, Depeche Mode: M, featuring interstitials and archival footage from the band’s Mexico City shows on the 2023-2024 Memento Mori Tour.
The feature-length film was conceptualised and directed by award-winning filmmaker Fernando Frias. Through his creative lens, the cinematic experience weaves footage from the three sold-out shows at Mexico City’s Foro Sol Stadium to explore the parallels between the themes on Depeche Mode’s latest album Memento Mori and the deep connection to death and mortality in Mexican culture.
Frias is best known for his award-winning film I’m No Longer Here, which won Mexico’s prestigious Ariel Academy Awards with ten wins, including Best Picture and Best Direction. The film also earned Frias a DGA nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement. Additionally, it was Mexico’s submission to the Oscars in 2021 and was shortlisted for Best International Feature.
Depeche Mode: M will premiere later this year.
