Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis)

Director: Anton Corbijn

Year: 2022

In 1968, art students Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell made a trippy photo collage for their musician friends Syd, David and Roger. The resulting album and album cover, 'A Saucerful of Secrets', helped launch two careers: that of Pink Floyd, one of the 70s megabands, and of Hipgnosis, which, over the course of the next 25 years, designed a stream of iconic album covers. Photographer, filmmaker and designer Anton Corbijn fills his Hipgnosis history with case studies of album art from Pink Floyd’s 'Dark Side of the Moon', considered by many to be the greatest album art of all time, to Led Zeppelin’s mind-altering 'Houses of the Holy'. Fuelled by Powell's vivid storytelling, Corbijn captures the energy of a team making iconoclastic art amidst one of the most hedonistic eras in music history.<br /> Official Selection Telluride Film Festival 2022 - World premiere<br /> Official Selection Sundance Film Festival 2023

Control Control

Director: Anton Corbijn

Year: 2008

Control is the story of Ian Curtis, lead singer of the now-legendary band Joy Division, who killed himself at the age of 23. Ian is a complex character. Marrying at 17, his relationship with his wife Debbie is remarkable in its normalcy - a picture of the young Northern couple trying to create a life. Ian works in the Employment Exchange and Debbie is a homemaker. However, Ian's love of music and literature defines his life. We see the drive of the man, resulting in Joy Division's growing success. As the band's profile grows, Ian is diagnosed with epilepsy, leaving him unsure of himself and his future. While dedicated to his wife and baby daughter, Ian yearns for real compatibility. He finds this in the form of a bright young journalist. The ensuing conflict between responsibility and desire, coupled with the increasing responsibilities of the band and the toll of performance, renders Ian incapable of dealing with the world, and he chooses what for him seems the only way out.<br />
