Art & Copy
Art & Copy is a powerful new film about advertising and inspiration. Directed by Doug Pray, it reveals the work and wisdom of some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time - people who’ve profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside of their industry. Exploding forth from advertising’s “creative revolution” of the 1960s, these artists and writers all brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit to their work in a business more often associated with mediocrity or manipulation.

Died Young Stayed Pretty
Rebellious, ironic, vulgar and, at times, a bit demented. Welcome to the underground world of the rock poster graphic artist, a renegade outcast who knows the value of octopus imagery and 70s porn. Inspired by a personal tragedy, Director Eileen Yaghoobian’s raw, uncontrollable documentary mirrors the visual rant of its subject, showing why the waning world of rock poster art is more than just an advertising tool of the music industry.

And a couple HIFF films that didn’t make it into the series, but should have:
Ed Hardy: Tattoo The World

Directed by Emiko Omori, whose documentaries have received critical acclaim (Rabbit In The Moon, Sundance 1999), Ed Hardy: Tattoo The World chronicles the journey of Hardy’s phenomenal rise to cult icon and the evolution of his personal art.

Visual Acoustics
Visual Acoustics celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world’s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California’s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images.
