This time we’ll be showing Helvetica, “Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which recently 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” Co-sponsored in part by ScriptaLab at the University of Colorado Boulder Libraries, scriptalab.org .
