the glory years of MTV
About this Event
The 1980s saw the birth of a new medium that took the world by storm: the pop video. And Tim Pope, a music fanboy-turned-video director, was at the forefront. I Shoot Rockstars documents Tim’s journey from dressing Freddie Mercury as a giant Mediterranean prawn to being called a 'funny little arsehole' by David Bowie and hanging out with Neil Young on his family ranch.
Tim Pope has directed over 200 music videos and live performance movies for artists such as David Bowie, Neil Young, Queen and Paul McCartney. His name is most synonymous with The Cure, for whom he has directed 37 videos and two concert films. Tim will be in conversation with Sean Hannam who is a freelance journalist specialising in retail, tech and music.
