Tickets for these screenings are now available, and anticipation is soaring for this groundbreaking multimedia experience that features contributions from over 150 visual artists spanning 45 countries.
A Collaborative Visual Symphony
Executive-produced by Ben Mor, known for directing Coldplay and Beyoncé’s hit 2016 collaboration Hymn For The Weekend, A Film For The Future is unlike anything the band has done before. Mor described the film as “jaw-dropping,” highlighting the extraordinary collaboration of animators and filmmakers from around the globe.
Artists were given snippets of music from Moon Music, including hit singles Feelslikeimfallinginlove and We Pray, as inspiration to craft visuals without strict rules or boundaries. The result is an ambitious multimedia tapestry that promises to captivate audiences.

Hints and Teases Leading to the Project
Coldplay fans may recall subtle hints about A Film For The Future as far back as 2019. The project was first teased on the car number plate featured in the artwork for Everyday Life. Last summer, a glimpse of the film appeared in the lyric video for Feelslikeimfallinginlove, further fueling speculation about what was to come.
Coldplay’s Universal Appeal
The global nature of this project aligns with Chris Martin’s recent comments about Coldplay’s music resonating most in non-English speaking countries. Speaking to Rolling Stone, Martin shared:
“I sometimes feel that we are most powerful in countries where they don’t really speak English. I’m not the best lyricist in the world by any stretch of the imagination, but I think if you don’t speak English, there’s a feeling that you feel.”
This sentiment is reflected in the international collaboration behind A Film For The Future, with creators from diverse backgrounds contributing to its universal appeal.
