Michael Lindsay-Hogg

Michael Lindsay-Hogg is one of those figures who shaped popular culture largely from behind the camera, and I'm captivated by that. By directing promotional films for the Beatles and the Rolling Stones before the term music video even existed, he effectively helped invent the grammar of putting songs on screen. His record of the Beatles' rooftop concert alone secures his place in history. That he also won a BAFTA for best drama shows a remarkable range. I deeply respect this kind of durable, adaptable craftsman, and I'm convinced history truly lives in the work of those who stay out of the frame.
