Michael Bierut reviews the documentary film “Helvetica” before it shows at New York’s AIGA and talks about how type was set back in the days before personal computers made it available to everyone.

Sure thing... I’ll settle for all the reviews I can read, since this NY showing has been sold out for weeks... :-D

There are no plans to show it here near Washington DC though :-(

You boys are going to have to come to Seattle. ;-) I figure it will also show up here for our little film festival in the fall, so I’ll have to go a second time....

Chris, you’ll have to visit the real Washington! We have a 700 seat venue for the TypeCon screening, plus some overflow capacity. Be sure to book early when the tickets go on sale*
Cheers, Si
*actually I think it might be free ;-)

Gee, it’s going to be in the Raleigh/Durham area Saturday, April 14th, & my wife has tickets. Sorry about D.C.

i didn’t see — is there a schedule for where this is showing?
6.Apr.2007 8.20pm
The screening schedule is here, Chuck.

I thought the comments on DO were pretty interesting — you can sure tell who’s a type geek and who isn’t....

so, at least it’s coming within 400 miles of me.
what’s the deal? one copy of the film?

The Washington DC premiere will be announced soon.... (okay, it’ll be at the AFI Silverdocs Festival in Silver Spring, mid-June... you didn’t hear it from me though)
A multi-week New York cinema run will be announced soon too.
Cheers,

Thanks Gary. Sorry I twisted your arm so hard. I won’t tell a soul who told me :-)

Your secret is safe with the 1,000+ users and lurkers that usually hang out here, Gary! Thanks for the info.

Hmmm...are the enough Typophiles going to the DC premier to justify me hosting an afterparty?
