Independent Lens: Helvetica
13 Nov 2008

This film explores typography, graphic design and global visual culture; and looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which recently celebrated its 50th birthday) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.

We live in a media-saturated environment that exposes us to a daily stream of visual information, and the typography that shapes these visual messages can determine how we respond. HELVETICA, ostensibly a film about a typeface, delves into the world of graphic arts and takes a deeper look into style changes and the controversies over the role of graphic designer since World War II. Filmmaker Gary Hustwit explores urban spaces and the typefaces that inhabit them, speaking with renowned historians and designers about the choices and aesthetics behind the use of certain fonts.

Dammit no one seeding!
Of course an educational and surprisingly interesting program has no seeders, but even the cheesiest of American shitcoms have several thousand.... (sigh)
EKOLB: Thanks for taking the time to upload! I'll check back frequently for a seeder and if I manage to DL it, will keep it active & seeding for at least a couple of weeks past 2:1.
