About Me |
|
Helvetica is a new feature-length documentary film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type. Helvetica encompasses the worlds of design, advertising, psychology, and communication, and invites us to take a second look at the thousands of words we see every day. We're pleased to announce that Helvetica will have its World Premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, on March 13! Check out the preliminary screening schedule , which will include over 100 events worldwide this year, more added every week. Watch a few clips from the film here.
