Films and Soundtracks
In 2002 Coleman starred in a Czech film by Petr Zelenka Rok ďábla (Year of the Devil). The film has become a multiple award-winning cult classic (Crystal Globe, Czech Lion). Switching to yet another artistic role, he has been co-directing a documentary-style music film called "The Death And Resurrection Show", named after a song on Killing Joke's 2003 album.
Coleman has contributed to several film soundtracks, such as Walt Disney’s Mulan (1998; with Vanessa-Mae on violin) and UK Channel 4 TV film Cinderella (released on 01/01/2000; music composed by Jaz and Youth). Individual songs appeared in soundtracks like: Weird Science (1985; "Eighties" by Killing Joke), Showgirls (1995; "Hollywood Babylon" by Killing Joke) or Year of the Devil (2002; "Pukaea" by Jaz Coleman and Hinewehi Mohi, "Universe B" and "Exorcism" by Killing Joke).

Famous quotes containing the words films and and/or films:
“Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man’s life and work go on after his “death,” whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not.... There is no such thing as death according to our view!”
—Martin Bormann (1900–1945)
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
