The Sundance-bound doc focuses on Hipgnosis, the legendary music art design studio, with interviews with Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, and Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and Jimmy Page.
Interviews include McCartney, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason; Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and Jimmy Page; Peter Gabriel; 10cc’s Graham Gouldman; and Oasis’ Noel Gallagher.Said Corbijn, “At 17, I started taking photos of musicians who created the soundtrack of my youth, first for magazines and later for record covers, and then trying out moving images as a director for music videos from the early ’80s onwards.
“I’ve had the honor of working with many talented artists over my career and I’m pleased to say that Anton Corbijn stands with the best of them,” said the film’s subject Powell. “It’s been a thrill to see Storm and myself through his lens and I’m glad to be working with Utopia to share our story with North American audiences.”
Raindog Films is behind the doc, which was produced by Trish D Chetty, Ged Doherty, and Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth. Hartwig Masuch, Alistair Norbury, Stuart Souter, Merck Mercuriadis, Thorsten Schumacher, George Chignell, Andrew Hulme and Nick Angel exec produced, with Guy Thompson and Christian Holland co-producing.
“My passion for music developed in the age of the vinyl record. Album art by Hipgnosis was a huge presence for me throughout my teens and so it’s been a pleasure to bring their story to the big screen,” said Firth. “This film coming out on the 50th anniversaries of the most significant albums of that decade feels fortuitous and cause for celebration. I’m excited for audiences to discover the landmark collaborations between Hipgnosis and some of the greatest bands of all time.
Added Utopia’s co-founder, Robert Schwartzman. “Utopia was founded with this merging of music and film at its core, and Anton’s exploration of Storm’s and Po’s artistry feels like a gift; as a team we could not be more stoked to thrill audiences across North America with his latest masterpiece.”
