“Helvetica” documentary world premiere
"Helvetica," a feature-length documentary about typography, graphic design, and global visual culture directed by Gary Hustwit, will have its world premiere at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, on 13 March 2007. "Helvetica" looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which celebrates its 50 birthday this year) 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 discussions with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type. "Helvetica" invites us to take a second look at
the thousands of words we see every day.
The film also serves as a long-overdue profile of some of the greatest graphic designers and type designers working today. Participants in the film include Massimo Vignelli, Matthew Carter, Erik Spiekermann, Wim Crouwel, Hermann Zapf, Neville Brody, David Carson, Stefan Sagmeister, Michael Bierut, Paula Scher, Jonathan Hoefler, Tobias Frere-Jones, Experimental Jetset, Michael C. Place, Norm, Alfred Hoffmann, Mike Parker, Bruno Steinert, Otmar Hoefer, Leslie Savan, Rick Poynor, Lars Müller, and more.
"Helvetica" is a production of Swiss Dots, in association with Veer.
