During a random excursion to HMV in Central on Sunday, I was pleasantly surprised to find the Helvetica film, an indie documentary by Gary Hustwit (in DVD AND Blu-Ray, joy!)

The film explores the history of the typeface, the visions of the designers, and interviews several rockstar designers on their thoughts of the saturated yet personable typeface. Giving both positive and negative outlooks on ‘Neue Haas Grotesk’, the film is a definite must-see for any designer, and awesome for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Check it out if you can!

“Director Saam Farahmand filmed Soulwax on their recent international dates, capturing all the excitement, chaos and humour of the world tour. Where the Beastie Boys filmed one gig with 50 cameras, Soulwax filmed 120 shows with one camera, in Europe, Japan, US, Latin America and Australia. The result is a snapshot of life on the road with one of the most exciting live bands in the world, and features their friends including 2manydj’s, James Murphy & Nancy Whang (LCD Soundsystem), Erol Alkan, Tiga, Justice, Busy P, So-Me, Peaches, Klaxons and many more in interview, as well as behind-the-scenes footage, and LOTS of music.”
