There are quite a few design movies coming out. From "Idiocracy" last week to "Helvetica" this week. "Helvetica" is a movie that documents the use of the typeface in the past 50 years. The independent movie, produced and directed by Gary Hustwit, shows the way "type affects our lives." Some of the most "innovative" designers in the world, are interviewed like Erik Spiekermann, Matthew Carter, Massimo Vignelli and Wim Crouwel, Hermann Zapf. The movie was shot all around the world and will be available soon. There'll be a screening of the movie May 1-2 in Kansas City, courtesy of the KC AIGA, complete with a Q&A session with the filmmaker.
