While Bierut's minions scooped us (standard), we (also) just received Helvetica director Gary Hustwit's e-mail announcing his new film, Objectified. This time, Gary turns his lens on industrial design to focus on the "manufactured objects that surround us and the people who make them." We hosted Gary and Helvetica last year through AIGA Portland and it seems that another invitation is about due. Objectified premiers in early 2009.
Loosely related, Israeli typographer Oded Ezer has also released an interesting short film and poster project entitled The Finger, in which the designer "presents the imaginary landscape of Hebrew letters."
