Tim Pope is renowned for his innovative and intellectually stimulating promotional music videos that captivated audiences on MTV during the 1980s, showcasing his exceptional talent in collaboration with iconic bands such as Talk Talk, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Soft Cell, The Style Council, and many others.
However, his most notable distinction lies in his unparalleled association with the UK's influential goth-rock group, The Cure, as their primary music video director. With an astonishing total of 21 videos directed for the band, Pope's impressive portfolio solidifies his status as the most prolific director of The Cure's promotional music videos.
Moreover, Pope directed a live Cure concert in France, which was later released as the cult classic "The Cure in Orange" in 1987. This unique concert remains a cherished gem among fans and collectors to this day.
In 2004, Pope's creative genius was once again celebrated when he directed Fatboy Slim's "Slash Dot Dash", which quickly became an internet sensation after its release on the band's website. His exceptional work earned him the prestigious "Outstanding Achievement Award" at the 2004 CADS Music Vision Awards.
