Helvetica - the movie.

Coool. Type dorks rejoice.

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2007) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.

At least in your new NYC home you'll be able to see it! I have a funny feeling that they won't be sending it here to middle America... boo.
