Depeche Mode have released the trailer for their recently announced Spirits in the Forest, a documentary directed by Anton Corbijn, which is coming to cinemas worldwide on November 21st.
The film documents the band’s the two final shows of their 2017-2018 Global Spirit Tour at Berlin’s famed Waldbühne (“Forest Stage”), and not unlike Depeche Mode 101, documents the experience of 6 fans attending from across the globe.
There is even arm-waving—possibly in homage to the sold-out Rose Bowl performance in 1988.
Watch the trailer below:
Here is the film’s official synopsis:
“Across 2017/2018 Depeche Mode embarked on their Global Spirit Tour, in which they performed to more than 3 million fans at 115 shows across the globe. This new visually-striking film, directed by award-winning filmmaker and longtime artistic collaborator Anton Corbijn, captures the energy and spectacle of the band’s performance from the tour along with a deeper look into how their music and shows have been woven into the fabric of their fans’ lives.
Through the deeply emotional stories of six special Depeche Mode fans, the film shows not only how and why the band’s popularity and relevance has continued to grow over the course of their career, but provides a unique look into music’s incredible power to build communities, enable people to overcome adversity, and create connections across the boundaries of language, location, gender, age, and circumstance.
Artfully shot and expertly edited, Depeche Mode: SPIRITS in the Forest goes beyond the typical concert film, weaving together exhilarating musical performances, filmed at the final shows of the Global Spirit Tour in Berlin’s famed Waldbühne (“Forest Stage”), with intimate documentary footage filmed in fans’ hometowns across the globe.”
