Re: [BKARTS] now on DVD if you didn't know about this

Seth and I saw this film just last week, and highly recommend it. As  
someone who tends to dismiss Helvetica all too quickly in my own  
design projects, I found it utterly fascinating to view the history  
of this typeface and to better grasp what it is that makes me react  
to it the way I do. I definitely left with a new respect for the type  
and the power of design... and the film is beautifully done, as well.

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography,  
graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the  
proliferation of one typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday  
this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type  
affects our lives. Helvetica is currently screening at film  
festivals, museums, design conferences, and cinemas worldwide, and is  
now available on DVD. Get more info about the film...
