“Helvetica”- a film by Gary Hustwit | Patterns of Europe
About
Helvetica is a feature-length documentary about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. Helvetica is a cinematic 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.
The film will be introduced by Jan Diehl-Michałowski and will be shown in its original audio with English subtitles.
“Helvetica”, dir. Gary Hustwit, runtime 80′, 2007
