SQUARING THE CIRCLE - THE STORY OF HIPGNOSIS (English OmU)

Documentary film by Anton Corbijn, Great Britain 2023, 106 min.

Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Genesis, Black Sabbath, Paul McCartney and Pink Floyd - these are not only icons of rock music, but also customers of Aubrey "Po" Powell and Storm Thorgerson. These are the two brains behind the "Hipgnosis" graphics label. They are responsible for legendary album covers that still linger in our cultural memory today, such as the minimalist prism on Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon". But with success also came drugs, arguments with the musicians and each other. Filmmaker Anton Corbijn traces the exciting history of Hipgnosis in this documentary.
