Helvetica

I can hardly wait to attend the movie made as part of the 50th birthday commemoration for the type face. The movie showing I plan to attend is on Sat. Oct. 6 at 7:30 http://www.cia.edu/academicResources/cinematheque/cinematheque.php

This is copying - The Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque, founded in 1986, presents movies in the CIA's 616-seat, 35mm and SR stereo-equipped Russell B. Aitken Auditorium. Videotapes and 16mm films are sometimes shown in the CIA's 100-seat Ohio Bell Auditorium. Both are located within the Institute's Gund Building at the corner of East Boulevard and Bellflower Road in University Circle. Free, lighted parking is available in the adjacent CIA lot, located on the north and east sides of the building off of East Blvd. . Entrance to the building is through the rear door, just off the parking lot and only steps from your car. Smoking is not permitted in the Institute. Our facilities are fully accessible to the physically challenged.

Hmmm ... global visual culture should be a most interesting topic. Here I am copying - Helvetica is a feature-length independent film about typography, graphic design, and global visual culture. http://www.helveticafilm.com/

In response to my email the is what I got in response, to jog my memory - we have over 600 seats. Our first film that night is at 5:30 pm so you could purchase tickets as early as 5:00 pm. There is no family membership, just individual membership. You may purchase as many tickets as you like but you cannot purchase them at the member price, only a member holding a member's card may purchase a member price ticket. It costs $30 for the year for membership and you get in for only $6 rather than $8. Membership for students with current ID is only $15 and seniors 65 & older is $15 for the year. We show over 250 movies a year and most are Cleveland premieres, so it is a good deal.
