In rural Wisconsin, a lone employee waits in a cavernous old museum for visitors to come. A few individuals straggle in every few days and then, come Friday, the museum fills with life. Machines hum, presses print, artists buzz about. One weekend each month, the quiet of Two Rivers is interrupted as carloads of artisans drive in from across the Midwest. The place comes alive as printmaking workshops led by, and filled with, some of the nation's top design talent descend on the sleepy enclave. In a time when people can carry computers in their pockets and watch TV while walking down the street, Typeface dares to explore the twilight of an analog craft that is freshly inspiring artists in a digital age. The Hamilton Wood Type Museum in Two Rivers, WI personifies cultural preservation, rural re-birth and the lineage of American graphic design. At Hamilton, international artisans meet retired craftsmen and together navigate the convergence of modern design and traditional technique. But the Museum¹s days may be numbered. What is the responsibility of artists and historians to preserve a dying craft? How can rural towns survive in a shifting industrial marketplace where big-box retailers are king?

It looks like award winning Bruce Licher’s letterpress studio in downtown Los Angeles the early Eighties.
in Dayton Ohio we have a little place like this and its operational and they get jobs still…it’s pretty awesome…old type and old presses
That is very cool.

A powerful emotional kick, strong performances and pretty scenery overcome the overlong, overstuffed plot.I saw the movie online at hudvideo-com. Anyway A remake that won’t crush your childhood memories, and it even improves on a few things.

The Smithsonian should take this over….
Glorious. Looking forward to the film – and to getting to Two Rivers.
Wonderful and Inspiring
Wonderful. Love the irony of the clumsily set Times Roman titles. I wonder if it was intentional.
