Thanks to all who came to the Nashville Public Library<\/a><\/strong> last night for our free screening of Gary Hustwit’s documentary HELVETICA<\/strong>. Special thanks to ITVS Community Cinema in Nashville<\/strong> organizer Allison Inman<\/strong>, the Nashville Public Library Foundation<\/strong><\/a> and the American Advertising Federation-Nashville<\/a><\/strong> for co-sponsoring. Close to 125 people attended the wine, cheese and craft reception, screening and follow-up panel discussion. Thanks to moderator Henry Walker<\/strong>, freelance media writer and attorney with Boult, Cummings, Conners & Berry, and panelists Kevin Endres<\/strong>, VP and Executive Creative Director for J&A Integrated Thinking; Cindy Marsh<\/strong>, Professor of Visual Communication and Printmaking, Austin Peay State University; and Michael Niblett<\/strong>, Associate Professor and Chair of Graphic Design Department, Watkins College of Art, Design & Film. Attendees got a special treat when none other than Jim Sherraden<\/strong> of iconic Hatch Show Print — sitting quietly in the back of theatre — made his presence known and offered his OWN opinion on Helvetica, the film AND the font. Kind of like Grandmaster Flash<\/strong> showing up unannounced during a panel discussion on the use of cutting and scratching in the development of hip-hop.<\/p>\n

A nod to Jim Ridley<\/strong> at the Nashville Scene<\/a><\/em><\/strong> for the great Critic’s Pick in last week’s issue.<\/p>\n

HELVETICA broadcast premieres on NPT on January 20 as part of the Independent Lens<\/a><\/strong> series. ITVS Community Cinema in Nashville continues on Wednesday, February 11 at 6 p.m. (5:15 reception) with ARUSI PERSIAN WEDDING. In the film, Iranian American filmmaker Marjan Tehrani chronicles her brother’s return to Iran as he travels with his American wife to have a traditional Persian wedding and explore his lost heritage.<\/p>\n
