Film Description

 

1. Helvetica

is the feature-length documentary about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface, Helvetica, one of the most widely used typefaces of the 20th century, which celebrated its 50th birthday in 2007, as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. 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.

 

2. Objectified

Filmmaker Gary Hustwit takes an in-depth look at industrial art and the design processes of some of society's most iconic consumer durables. The film includes interviews with designers from London, Tokyo, Paris and New York including Jonathan Ive from Apple computers and Japanese product designer Naoto Fukasawa.

 

3. Urbanized

The final documentary in director Gary Hustwit's design film trilogy (Helvetica, Objectified), Urbanized features some of the world's foremost architects, planners, policymakers, and thinkers discussing urban design.

 

Who is allowed to shape our cities, and how do they do it? And how does the design of our cities affect our lives? By exploring a diverse range of urban design projects in dozens of cities around the world, from massive infrastructure initiatives to temporary interventions, Urbanized frames a global discussion on the future of cities.
