Design Trilogy
3 movies
The Design Trilogy is the collective name of a series of three documentary films about design directed by film director Gary Hustwit.
Helvetica
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 their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type.
Objectified
A feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them.
Urbanized
A documentary about the design of cities, which looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design and features some of the world's foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers.
