Changing the world, one letter at a time...
A sold-out cinema run at the ICA London, a broadcast (albeit in a much-shortened version) on BBC1, and now the DVD edition of the font film everyone's talking about: HELVETICA!. It looks at the proliferation of one typeface as part of a larger conversation about the way type affects our lives. The film is an exploration of urban spaces in major cities and the type that inhabits them, and a fluid discussion with renowned designers about their work, the creative process, and the choices and aesthetics behind their use of type. The DVD includes over 90 minutes of deleted interview footage. Get one.




The acclaimed Pixies doc loudQUIETloud
loudQUIETloud: a film about the Pixies, is an intimate, behind-the-scenes chronicle of the Pixies' massively successful 2004 reunion tour, from the first rehearsal, to the final bow nearly one year later. The usually press-shy Pixies granted unprecedented access to award-winning directors Steven Cantor and Matthew Galkin, who've created an intimate portrait of the artists, their relationships with family, fans and each other, and the combustible dynamic when the four come together on stage. The film provides an insider's perspective of a touring band's life, from the emotional highs of performing to sell out crowds, to renewed tensions that arose between band members. The DVD includes loads of deleted interview footage and more. Order yours now and get £2 off RRP.

WE JAM ECONO: The Story of the Minutemen
The acclaimed feature-length documentary on the too-brief life of one of the most revered, intriguing, and inspired American bands ever. The Minutemen's unbridled creativity and political views were the foundation of a sound which refused to be categorized as Punk. The film weaves together personal tales from bassist Mike Watt and drummer George Hurley with archival interview footage of the band and rare live performances. New interviews with over 50 musicians, journalists, and friends, including John Doe, Ian MacKaye, Flea, J Mascis, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Colin Newman, Keith Morris, and Henry Rollins all help tell the Minutemen story, from their humble beginnings in the harbor town of San Pedro, California, to the tragic 1985 death of guitarist D. Boon in a highway accident in the Arizona desert. This 2-disc DVD set includes over 5 hours of the Minutemen! Watch the trailer (Quicktime) or get more details...
