HELVETICA & OBJECTIFIED

A one night only screening of Gary Hustwit first two documentaries HELVETICA & OBJECTIFIED.

Helvetica (7 pm) is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.
Helvetica has been shown at over 200 film festivals, museums, design conferences, and cinemas worldwide.

Objectified (9 pm) is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It's a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It's about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It's about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
