Step inside Coldplay’s A FILM FOR THE FUTURE in a limited run of exclusive 360-degree screenings
This January, Coldplay’s A FILM FOR THE FUTURE premieres with a limited run of exclusive 360-degree screenings at Lightrooms in London and Seoul and right here in Manchester at Aviva Studios.
A FILM FOR THE FUTURE was created by over 150 different visual artists from 45 countries, giving audiences a chance to experience the band’s No 1 album Moon Music.
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.
A FILM FOR THE FUTURE will premiere at Lightroom London and Seoul, and at Aviva Studios from 22 January. In each venue, state-of-the-art audio technology and 11m high projection across four walls and the floor will allow visitors to be fully immersed in the visual and audio experience – using the same technology as our David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) production by Lightroom.
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.”

"We’re very grateful to all the amazing artists who lent their genius to this film. They’ve created something very beautiful and we’re extremely proud of it.”

"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."
