Community Cinema Independent Lens is in Miami!

Join us for free popcorn and screening of Helvetica.

About the film: You can't escape if you try--it's on your computer, the subway, U.S. mailboxes, IRS tax forms, and spells out countless corporate logos from Target to Crate & Barrel to Fendi. No doubt, Helvetica is the king of fonts. But why? To find the answer, first- time director Gary Hustwit meets with historians and designers whose passion for typefaces run high, and discovers the secrets behind the fonts we use and read every day. For more information about the Community Cinema please click here! or contact Judie Stork at judie@handsonmiami.org or 305-646-7462.
