Hustwit previously directed Helvetica , which showed as part of last year's ByDesign program at NWFF.  A documentary about the world's most pervasive font, Helvetica was one of the most enjoyable educational experiences of the year.

This time Hustwit widens the frame, investigating the histories of various everyday objects. For design nerds—or anyone who's ever used a potato peeler.

Plays through Thursday at 7 & 9pm.
