Once essential to communication, the 500-year-old process is now in danger of being lost as its caretaker’s age. >From self-proclaimed basement hoarders to the famed Hatch Show Print, Pressing On: The Letterpress Film explores the question: why has letterpress survived in a digital age? Worlds of each character emerge as unusual narratives—joyful, mournful, reflective and visionary—are punctuated with on-screen visual poetry, every shot meticulously composed. Captivating personalities blend with wood, metal and type as young printers strive to save this historic process in a film created for the designer, type nerd, historian and collector in us all. Documentary, USA, Running Time: 100 Minutes WEBSITE: www.letterpressfilm.com SOCIAL: @letterpressfilm #letterpressfilm |
