Design documentaries
Sometimes I forget how much I love film, a compelling narrative combined with well executed elements of composition, light and sound — though I also have a thing for hanging out in old cinemas late at night wired on caffeine. Anyway, I’ve had the fortune of having a week off between freelance contracts so taken the opportunity to start exploring films I may have missed over the past year. While I’ve found a number of good ones, as many not so good, I’ve also found there’s quite a few design related films with decent reviews screening at the moment.
Milton Glaser: To Inform and Delight, officially opened on June 12 across the US. It’s a documentary on the 80yo American graphic designer, perhaps most famous for his I ♥ NY campaign in the 1970s and he also founded New York magazine.
Art & Copy is a documentary the reveals stories from a range of people involved in some of the most influential advertising campaigns. It’s currently screening at a number of US film festivals.
Finally, from the creator of the film Helvetica, comes Objectified, which is actually screening around the world at the moment. Objectified is a documentary about product design and manufacturing.
