About this event
The film explores the two-year long collaboration between Czech, UK based artist Míla Fürstová and the legendary band Coldplay on the visual concept of their Ghost Stories album. Against the background of this intense and mutually inspiring collaboration, it reveals the creative development of an outstanding artist, the vital role of a supporting family, the richly inspiring childhood, and how fateful a meeting with a wonderful teacher can be. Above all, Míla's journey is a picture of the courage, hard work and tenacity of a talented woman who pursued her dream with determination and purpose, and how that dream ultimately came true in an unexpectedly beautiful way. A girl from a small village in the Czech Highlands gave the now iconic Wings to a world famous band which in turn gave wings to her. Míla’s work has been discovered by tens of millions of people from different cultures all over the world as Coldplay featured Míla's delicate, beautiful artwork as visuals during their concerts at the biggest stadiums in the world from Tokyo to Buenos Aires. https://en.kridlaprocoldplay.cz/
