There are a ton of threads

I atteneded SXSW earlier this year, but missed the sold-out premiere of Helvetica. Thankfully I was able to attend a later screening in Chicago with Gary Hustwit on hand to add his anecdotes. A DVD should be released soon (possibly October), but I’d highly recommend seeing this documentary in a cinema to show your support for these types of films.

When does it come to the UK?

Andrew, it is a really great film. I saw it the second time on Wednesday and highly recommend you see it.

missgiggles, the event dates and info is on the official site. http://www.helveticafilm.com/

>When does it come to the UK?

Rumour has it that it may be shown in Brighton, during the annual conference of ATypI.

It is scheduled for 7 September at the ICA*, but was shown in Oxford a couple of nights ago at

*annoyingly the ICA website restricts itself to 31 days in the future.
