[2] Dibb has made many acclaimed films about musicians, artists and writers, including on Federico García Lorca, C. L. R. James, Astor Piazzolla, Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett, Barbara Thompson, and other notable subjects.
He joined Third Eye Productions, a company formed by several other former members of the BBC Music and Arts department, including Barrie Gavin, Peter West and Geoff Haydon.
[8] In 2011, Dibb made the film Barbara Thompson: Playing Against Time, a 75-minute "musical-medico" documentary "about Parkinson's disease seen through the prism of music", chronicling the celebrated saxophonist's fight to keep performing despite having developed the condition.
[10][11] Dibb's first book, Spellwell (2010, Muswell Press), written in rhyming couplets and illustrated by Roddy Maude-Roxby, was a playful guide to the idiosyncrasies of English-language spelling.
[12][13] A major online retrospective of Dibb's work A Listening Eye was curated by Matthew Harle and Colm McAuliffe for the Whitechapel Gallery in East London, running from January till March 2021.
