Description

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.

  • Our devoted connections

    This movie is not one about Depeche Mode per se! This movie is about the people who are so deeply connected because of their love of Depeche Mode. We’ve all found these songs that speak so dearly to us and the things we go through in life. This band has play a crucial role in each of our lives. And through our journeys many of us have found others who became our rocks and our support. I sat through the movie thinking of my devoted friends who dot the world. Friends I found in a DM group on yahoo 20 years ago. That is what the movie is about and it spoke to my heart!
