Helvetica looks at the proliferation of one typeface as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film 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. (2007, 80 min, digital)
We are thrilled to present this special one-week engagement of Gary Hustwit’s vibrant new film Urbanized (2011, 90 min, digital). We also present screenings of the two other parts of his trilogy, Helvetica and Objectified, which are among the most popular films YBCA has ever shown.
