Tim Pope is famous for his unique and thought-provoking promotional
music videos played on MTV in the 1980s, for such bands as
Talk Talk,
Siouxsie and the Banshees,
Soft Cell, The Style Council and others;
however, he is best known for being UK's goth-rock group
The Cure's almost exclusive director when it
came to making their promotional music videos. Pope has directed more
videos for The Cure than any other band, with a whopping 21 total! He
also directed a Cure concert in France that was released as
The Cure in Orange (1987); to
this day it remains a hard-to-find cult classic. In August 2004 the
illustrious Pope directed Fatboy Slim's
"Slash Dot Dash", which became an Internet hit after it was released on
the band's website. He won the "Outstanding Achievement Award" at the
2004 CADS Music Vision Awards.
