Inside A Film For The Future
With 10 number one albums under their belt (for context, that’s every single album they’ve released), it’s safe to say that Coldplay is a big deal. Ahead of their 2025 UK tour – which will be 100 percent powered by renewable energy – to promote their tenth album, the band has announced a visual companion film to Moon Music: A Film For The Future. Here’s what you need to know.
Coldplay’s A Film For The Future: All The Details
What Is It?
A Film For The Future is a 44-minute visual companion to Coldplay’s tenth studio album, Moon Music. It has been crafted by more than 150 visual artists from 45 countries who were given short audio clips from Moon Music in summer 2024 and tasked with producing a visual accompaniment to it. Coldplay didn’t give them any artistic direction, but instructed them to simply ‘follow their inspiration’. The result, according to executive producer Ben Mor, is ‘a kaleidoscopic patchwork quilt – a 44-minute multimedia tapestry’.
‘We’re very grateful to all the amazing artists who lent their genius to this film,’ the band said. ‘They’ve created something very beautiful and we’re extremely proud of it.’ Watch the trailer below for an idea of what’s to come.
‘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,’ Mor added. ‘The final film is simply jaw-dropping and I can’t wait for Coldplay’s fans to see it.’
The project has been a long time coming, first teased on a car numberplate in the artwork to Coldplay’s 2019 album Everyday Life. Another teaser came in the form of the July 2024 music video to ‘feelslikeimfallinginlove’.
Where & When?
A Film For The Future will be available to watch on YouTube from 22 January 2025. If you want to watch it in person, special 360° screenings will take place in Lightroom’s London, Manchester and Seoul venues. Think state-of-the-art audio technology plus 11-metre high projections, with video on the floor, too.
