Anton Corbijn on Squaring the Circle, Hipgnosis, Album Covers & Kurt Cobain

From Dutch director and photographer, Anton Corbijn, Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) tells the history behind Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell, the creative minds behind one of the most iconic design studios in musical history, Hipgnosis. No stranger to the musical frontier, Corbijn has worked with numerous influential artists, namely Depeche Mode, U2, The Killers, and many others, as well as directed a number of notable music videos, including Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box.“ Though Squaring the Circle is Corbijn’s first feature-length doc, he’s manned the director’s chair for films like 2007’s Control and The American, starring George Clooney.
