In 2024, British pop sensation Charli XCX became a cultural phenomenon with her album 'Brat', which even gained traction in U.S. politics through Kamala Harris' campaign. Now, the artist turns to film, marking a new chapter in her career.

Charli XCX stars in the mockumentary 'The Moment', which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and recently screened in Berlin. The film explores hypothetical scenarios reflecting Charli’s industry experiences and features stars like Alexander Skarsgård and Kylie Jenner in fictional roles.

Despite mixed reviews from critics, 'The Moment' provides a cathartic exploration of the tension artists face in maintaining cultural relevance. Charli collaborates with director Aidan Zamiri to channel these industry frustrations into art, announcing her new focus on film projects.
