Deadline reports director Anton Corbijn has completed “Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis),” a feature-length documentary about the venerable album sleeve design shop.
Founded by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell in the ’60s, the collaborative produced many sleeves for Pink Floyd and its members, as well as many other bands.
“Growing up in the late ’60s and ’70s, I was obsessed with music and everything connected to it – especially the album covers,” Corbijn tells Deadline. “The record sleeves were a huge part of my education and I really enjoyed making this film as it allowed me to revisit the things I loved from that time. I clearly recall the moment I first saw the sleeve for ‘Atom Heart Mother’ by Pink Floyd, and the Peter Gabriel sleeves.”
The film includes new interviews with Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason.
It’s produced by Raindog Films’ Ged Doherty, Trish D. Chetty and Colin Firth.
No release date has yet been announced.

Speculations we reported on in May (“Report: Pink Floyd considers selling catalog”) that Pink Floyd is considering selling its music catalog appear to be true.
The Times reports a number of entities are competing for ownership of the band’s songs as well as master recordings. The report states the band is seeking £400 million, the equivalent of approximately $470 million US.
Private equity group Blackstone is said to be in the running, as well as Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Music Group Corp., BMG and Primary Wave. Sony and Warner already distribute some of Floyd’s work.
According to Bloomberg, the deal would also include the right to create official band merchandise.
If the band strikes a deal, it would be one of the largest transactions in music history.
