Description
From the producers of Design & Thinking and Maker, comes Hanzi, a new film that explores international design, visual culture and identity through the lens of modern Chinese typography.

Chinese is one of the oldest and most used languages in the world, yet it is perceived as difficult to learn, and there has been a lack of discussion on Chinese typography and its transition into the digital era.

Collaborating with filmmakers from New York, Hong Kong, London and Taipei, Hanzi includes interviews from ShaoLan, creator of Chineasy in London, Akira Kobayashi,a renowned Japanese font designer based in Germany, veteran Chinese font designer Sammy Or in Hong Kong, also Ri Xing Type Foundry, one of the last traditional Chinese letterpress printers in the world, Arphic technology and the recently crowdfunded Justfont team in Taiwan gathering some of the most important figures and insight in the current Chinese education and typography field.

The film explores universal subjects such as “How does language shape identity? What role does handwriting play in the digital age?” Focusing on Chinese education and typography but keeping its insights applicable to all languages, Hanzi encourages universal subjects such as “How does language shape identity? What role does handwriting play in the digital age?” Focusing on Chinese education and typography but keeping its insights applicable to all languages, Hanzi encourages audiences around the world to revisit and rethink their own culture, language and identity.
