Following its screening at this year’s Tribeca Festival, Trafalgar Releasing and Sony Music Vision have confirmed a global release for Depeche Mode: M.
The feature-length film will be in cinemas and on IMAX screens worldwide for a limited event from Tuesday, October 28.
The film is expected to be screened in 2,500-plus cinemas in more than 60 countries.
Conceived and directed by Fernando Frias, Depeche Mode: M is described as a “unique cinematic journey into the heart of Mexican culture's relationship with death, framed by the iconic live performances of Depeche Mode”.
The film is built around footage from the band's three sold-out Mexico City Foro Sol Stadium shows on the 2023-2024 Memento Mori Tour.
Tickets for Depeche Mode: M will go on sale from September 17 at the film’s dedicated website.
"At its core, our new film M is about the deep connection between music, culture, and people – and Fernando Frías, who directed and conceived the film, did a beautiful job telling that story that through the lens of Mexican culture and our shows in Mexico City,” said frontman Dave Gahan.
Frias is best known for his award-winning film I’m No Longer Here, which triumphed at Mexico’s Ariel Academy Awards with 10 wins, including Best Picture and Best Direction. The film also earned Frias a DGA nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement. Additionally, it was Mexico’s submission to the Oscars in 2021 and was shortlisted for Best International Feature.
“We’re proud to continue our longstanding collaboration with Sony Music Vision and Imax to bring Depeche Mode:M to audiences worldwide in October,” said Marc Allenby, CEO, Trafalgar Releasing. “This cinematic experience is a perfect celebration of the Memento Mori Tour and the deep connection Depeche Mode has with their global fanbase.”
Depeche Mode’s Memento Mori Tour saw the band play to more than three million fans at 112 shows around the world.
