Alberta Premiere

An iconic photographer and director, Anton Corbijn’s eloquent genius has resulted in some of the most striking and enigmatic images of the world’s favourite musicians. Able to create deeply intimate moods in visually epic three-and-a-half minute music videos, Corbijn has immortalized the likes of Iggy Pop, Miles Davis, Depeche Mode, U2, David Bowie, The Killers, Joy Division, Nirvana, Coldplay and countless others on celluloid. With nearly 30 years as a leader in the industry, Corbijn has become as revered as the dazzling personalities on the other side of his lens, many of whom offer candid interviews in this stylish rockumentary. Named after the Joy Division song, SHADOW PLAY is an inside look at the perfectionist artistry of Corbijn as he breaks all filmmaking rules, including remortgaging his home to finance his award-winning breakout feature film, CONTROL.
