From The Streets To The Screen

Take 11 urban artists, all inspired by Songs of Innocence. Result? Films Of Innocence.

24 Nov 2014
Celebrating the power of urban art, the band invited 11 of the world's most acclaimed street artists to create a film inspired by Songs Of Innocence.

With the political murals of Northern Ireland as a reference point, Oliver Jeffers, Robin Rhode, D*Face, Mode 2, Chloe Early, Ganzeer, Vhils, Maser, ROA, DALeast, and Todd James were given complete freedom to respond to the band's music through a series of part-animated, part live action films.



The final collection, Films Of Innocence, is an exhilarating display of diversity in approach, style and commentary, a striking visual counterpoint to the album. 'Powerful and cognizant, their works scale the globe, play with time, and weave between heightened reality and animated dreamscapes.'

Jefferson Hack, co-founder of Dazed & Confused magazine, is Creative Director of Films of Innocence which is available to pre-order on iTunes.
