information aesthetics.
a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design & global visual culture. the movie looks at the proliferation of 1 typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives.
you either already missed it at your local alternative movie festival, but most probably, you had no reasonable chance of seeing it as it has not been shown in your neighborhood yet.
in the meantime, you can watch 4 short youtube clips after the break.

i saw this last sunday at the toronto Hot Docs festival. the interviews were excellent, some of them insightful, but mostly, i'm just happy to see our profession get some screen-time.
I can't wait either.. The film will be screening at the the walkerin Minneapolis, MN, USA in a month. I'll be there for sure.
The documentary clips, especially the Berlin montage, provides us with ideas for a documentary video we're doing at the University of the Philippines Film Institute.
All the best!
