Brief Explanation
This first ever global visual music album is to celebrate the international sights and sounds of football which aims to highlight the vibrancy and spirit of the game #FUTBOLNOW.
Director Andy Morahan says the initial idea came from The Christmas Truce. "The English and German soldiers put down their guns and played some football in No Man’s Land. I was thinking of a way to try and tell that story in a modern light. Obviously I didn’t have the budget for a war scene, but a riot was more reasonable as a severe stand-off between people. It’s showing football, and sport by extension, as this beacon for humanity."
The idea behind the short films or ‘filmtracks’ is to capture the indelible spirit of football and show how the power of the game is inextricably interwoven with music and film. This visual album is a celebration of different artistic talents and intertwines two art forms that up until now existed mostly in service of one another.
