Biography
Julien Temple (b. 1953, London) graduated from King's College Cambridge. He first took an interest in film after discovering Jean Vigo, but his fascination with the 1970s London punk scene also played an important role. There he became friends with the Sex Pistols, shooting lengthy footage of their early performances. This cooperation culminated in two feature-length documentaries: The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (1979) and The Filth and the Fury (1999 – Horizons, KVIFF 2001). Music films are a large part of Temple's rich filmography, including music videos and TV movies with David Bowie, The Kinks, the Rolling Stones, Janet Jackson, Neil Young, and Tom Petty. He has also tried his hand at features: the musical comedy Earth Girls Are Easy (1988), Vigo: Passion for Life (1980), and Pandaemonium (2000).
