Coldplay is preparing to unveil their latest creative endeavor, A Film For the Future, a 44-minute short film designed as a visual companion to their album Moon Music. Announced on January 14, the project has been years in the making, with fans first spotting hints as far back as 2019 in the artwork for the Everyday Life album. The film will premiere on January 22 through exclusive 360-degree screenings and a global YouTube release.
The screenings will take place at the Lightroom in London, Factory International in Manchester, and Lightroom Seoul in South Korea. For those unable to attend, the band will share the film on their YouTube channel, allowing fans worldwide to experience it.
The film is a collaborative masterpiece, featuring the work of over 150 visual artists from 45 countries. These artists were given short audio snippets from Moon Music and asked to create visuals without any direction or guidelines. The result is a diverse mix of styles, including animation, photo montages, surreal digital art, and natural imagery.
Executive producer Ben Mor, known for directing Coldplay’s Hymn for the Weekend video, described the film as “a kaleidoscopic patchwork quilt” and praised the artists for their creativity and originality. “The final result is a stunning visual journey, and I can’t wait for fans to see it,” Mor said.
In addition to the film, an innovative AI-powered remix project will launch on the same day. Powered by Microsoft Copilot and Azure AI, the remix allows fans to create personalized versions of the film, ensuring no two experiences are the same.
