Spirits in the Forest is a live concert film and documentary by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode. Directed by Anton Corbijn,[1] it is due to be released on 21 November 2019. The film chronicles the final concert of the band's Global Spirit Tour at the Waldbühne in Berlin, Germany, as well as the stories of six fans of the band.[2]
Background
As part of a promotion for the release of their album Spirit, Depeche Mode announced that a contest would be held in which one fan or celebrity would take over Depeche Mode's Facebook page every day for a year.[3] A press release stated that winners would post to the band's seven million followers their own "personal anecdotes, videos, concert photos, covers of the band’s songs, or other Depeche Mode-related content." Celebrities who contributed to the takeover include Trent Reznor, Linkin Park, Tony Hawk, Richard Blade, and Chris Hardwick, as well as Charity: Water. From these contest winners, six fans were chosen to be featured in the film.[2] The production crew traveled to each of the six fans' hometowns to film, then continued their stories as they journeyed to see the final concert of the Global Spirit Tour, which took place at the Waldbühne in Berlin, Germany.[1]
In addition to the fans' stories, the film incorporates footage from the final two shows of the Global Spirit Tour, both of which took place at the Waldbühne, on 23 and 25 July 2019.
In September 2019, it was announced that the film would debut in 2,400 theaters globally for one night only, 21 November 2019.[4]
