Storm Thorgerson documentary premieres next month

Posted February 15, 2011 by Floydian Slip

“Taken by Storm,” a new feature-length documentary film about prolific Pink Floyd sleeve designer Storm Thorgerson (pictured), will premiere at the South by Southwest (SxSW) festival next month.

The film will be shown three or four times during the festival, which runs March 11-20 in Austin, Texas.

According to the film’s director, Roddy Bogawa, Thorgerson is expected to attend most of the festival.

Bogawa reports Pink Floyd and EMI have been very supportive in the making of the film. “They’ve given me permission to use a one-minute clip from a helicopter shot over the beach at Devon where Storm shot ‘A Momentary Lapse of Reason’,” he says. “No one has ever seen this footage, I think, and it’s really amazing.

“Storm and Pink Floyd have done so much together it’s a big chunk of the film,” he adds. “There are sequences about ‘Atom Heart Mother,’ ‘Wish You Were Here,’ of course, ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ and ‘A Momentary Lapse of Reason,’ with footage from my interviews with David Gilmour and Nick Mason.”

Learn more about SxSW at the festival Web site.

David Gilmour covers treatment for alleged computer hacker

Posted February 14, 2011 by Floydian Slip

According to Scotland’s Daily Record newspaper, Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour is paying for psychiatric treatment for alleged computer hacker Gary KcKinnon (pictured).

McKinnon, a 45-year-old man from Glasgow who has Asperger’s Syndrome, has been fighting extradition to the United States for supposedly hacking into NASA and Pentagon networks a decade ago to search for evidence of UFOs.

He faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted.

Gilmour has been an advocate for McKinnon, participating in a charity re-recording of Graham Nash’s “Chicago” to benefit his defense and distributing updates about the case through his Web site and Twitter feed.

Government funding for McKinnon’s treatment was dropped last month due to cutbacks at the London National Health Service trust that was paying for his care.
