I attended the Montreal screening of the film last week and definitely learned a few things. My design history knowledge skews heavily towards Britain and Europe, so it was pretty awesome to see Canadian efforts in the spotlight. I grew up during the period when much of this work was being scrapped in favour of the new, so I never really appreciated some of the systems that we had in place.
The film is showing around the country over the next month, including several more screenings at Cinema du Parc in Montreal. It will be released digitally in the fall.
Thanks to the film’s director, Greg Durrell, for providing me with the film’s title card for this post.
Thought I pledged to buy a copy of Dutch Type last night. Kickstarter seems to have had trouble processing my card, but notified me by email. Didn’t see it until this morning when the campaign was already funded 🙁 Emailed them and can get added to the list manually. Should be fine. So, yea!
@lettergrade Whoa. I remember glancing over my shoulder once in Nova Scotia, and traffic stopped in both directions. It weirded me out coming from Ontario. I felt sooo guilty crossing the road.
