It isn’t everyday that a filmmaker uploads his full-featured film, on the Internet for rent, while it is still being screened in theaters. Nonetheless, Director Gary Hustwit announced this pleasant surprise on twitter, this morning :
In a way, this almost serves as an informal ‘International release’ for the film, as it streams readily in HD to millions worldwide.
Urbanized concludes Gary Hustwit’s ‘Design Trilogy’, which follows Helvetica, which took us into the world of the ubiquitous font, and Objectified, which got us thinking more about the products we use everyday, and the obsessive thought that goes behind industrial design.
Now ‘Urbanized’ features urban design, the thinking that goes into the planning and building of cities. Choke full of insightful interviews, with some of the most influential thinkers, planners, architects, and policymakers in the field, Urbanized feels both very much like a logical next step, as well as fitting wrap for the series of design-centric movies.
