The Story
Squaring the Circle: The Story of Hipgnosis tells the story of Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell, the creative geniuses behind the iconic album art design studio, Hipgnosis, who were responsible for some of the most iconic album covers of all time. Formed during the ferment of the sixties, they produced visuals that popularized music that had previously been considered fringe and were at the white-hot centre of the maddest, funniest and most creative era in the history of popular music.
The film features brand-new interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour & Nick Mason of Pink Floyd, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Graham Gouldman of 10cc, Noel Gallagher, and many more.
