What if your favourite musicians stopped writing songs and started writing screenplays? We imagine the films hiding inside ten artists’ most cinematic worlds.
1. Jamie T – London, After Dark
A grimy, funny and chaotic coming-of-age film about friendship, drinking, petty crime and trying to outrun your own mistakes.

A tense, intimate coming-of-age crime drama unfolding over one night, where every decision brings the characters closer to danger.
3. Tame Impala – Someone Else’s Life
A psychedelic psychological drama about a man becoming increasingly unsure whether his memories, relationships and identity are actually his own.
4. Bob Marley – The Revolution Will Sing
A beautiful portrait of Jamaican culture that packs a surprising punch.
5. Wolf Alice – After Midnight
A strange and sensual British coming-of-age story that gradually transforms into something much darker.

A funny, slightly melancholic indie film about a woman drifting through work, friendships, relationships and the strange mundanity of adult life.
7. Arctic Monkeys – Three in the Morning
A night-long British ensemble film following a group of young people through bars, bedrooms, taxis and increasingly questionable decisions.
8. Ethel Cain – Daughters of God
A Southern Gothic horror about religion, family, repression and a young woman desperate to escape the world she was born into.
9. Frank Ocean – Things We Never Said
A fragmented romantic drama told through memories of a relationship that ended before either person was ready.
10. Rosalía – The Woman in Red
A stylised psychological drama about love, obsession, control and a woman slowly reclaiming her identity.
