Julien Temple, Director

Following Julien Temple's directorial debut film the Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle (1980), he became one of the early pioneers of music videos, directing the Kinks, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Neil Young, Tom Petty and Janet Jackson. He has since directed several films, including the musicals Absolute Beginners (1986) and Earth Girls Are Easy (1989), starring the then-unknown Jim Carrey and Geena Davis, The Rolling Stones Live at The Max (1991), and most recently Vigo, inspired by the life and work of French film director Jean Vigo. He continues to direct music videos and commercials, and to develop projects for both cinema and TV. He has just completed Pandemonium, a film starring Robert Carlyle, based on the relationship between the 18th century poets Coleridge and Wordsworth for BBC.
