This month, the Denki Documentary features the second of Gary ‘Helvetica’ Hustwit’s design trilogy, Objectified:
Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about the designers who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
I thoroughly enjoyed Helvetica last month, and can’t wait to see this. The DCA are actually running two screenings this month: one on Tuesday 29th October at 6pm (the usual slot for the series), and another on Thursday 29th October also at 6pm. Denkians will be present at both events, of course!
Tickets are available via DCA’s box office now on 01382 909900 or book online at www.dca.org.uk.
See you there!
