In 23 and 25 July 2018, Corbijn filmed the last two concerts of Depeche Mode's Global Spirit Tour at the Waldbühne in Berlin. Some of this footage, intertwined with the stories of six life-long fans in the audience, became the film Spirits in the Forest, which was released in theaters worldwide on 21 November 2019. In Corbijn's interview with NME he spoke about the origins behind the idea of this movie and said that they (him and Depeche Mode) "decided to look at the reason for why Depeche Mode was still growing...they’re the biggest cult band in the world. It’s unbelievable.” He further adds that "it’s in the DNA of Depeche to have these connection to their fans...there's something unusual about it and the fans go to great lengths", which inspired him to make the film in the style that he did.
