Coldplay announce premiere of A Film For The Future
By Dan Biggane | January 14, 2025
Coldplay have announced a new project called A Film For The Future, the 44-minute visual companion to their No.1 album, Moon Music.
The film will premiere on YouTube on 22 January, with special 360-degree screenings of the film taking place at Lightroom in London, Manchester and Seoul.
A Film For The Future was first teased on a car numberplate in the artwork to Coldplay’s 2019 album Everyday Life. A section of the project also appeared in the 2024 lyric video for the band’s single feelslikeimfallinginlove.
It 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.

Ambitious Project
Executive Producer Ben Mor, says the result is “a kaleidoscopic patchwork quilt – a 44-minute multimedia tapestry.”
Ben Mor continued: “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.”
Coldplay said: “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.”
Special Screenings
To accompany the project, the band have also partnered with Microsoft to create an AI-powered A Film For The Future remix experience. Launching on the band’s website, fans can interact with the film in a unique way with no two results being the same.
As well as being available to watch worldwide on youtube.com/coldplay, fans can see A Film For The Future at a limited run of exclusive 360-degree screenings. These take place at: Lightroom London, Lightroom at Factory International at Aviva Studios in Manchester, and Lightroom Seoul. Tickets for the Lightroom screenings are available to purchase here
