I can think of so many subjects areas that a movie like this would fit into.

Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design and global visual culture. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface (which is celebrating its 50th birthday this year) as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our live.

As “visual literacy” creeps into the curriculum and wakes up to Marshall McLuhan idea of the “medium being the message” its nice to know that movie like this are being produced. Think of the conversations.
