CCA Confidential

If you haven’t heard, Gary Hustwit has made a documentary about the font Helvetica. It’s won six film awards so far, and has had a much broader appeal than Hustwit imagined. Here is a clip with Wim Crouwel speaking:

The film looks amazing, and it is playing here in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center, on Oct 5-7. I am going, and if you want to meet up, drop me an email or leave a comment here.

Update

The Helvetica Documentary sold out at Yerba Buena for all three days, and no one I know was able to get to tickets. But don’t worry. The dvd is coming out Nov 6. You can preorder it on Amazon here: Helvetica Documentary.
