Take the Quiz: Which Object Are You?

How does the design of your cell phone, toothbrush or couch impact your life? Tune in to Independent Lens on PBS next Tuesday, Nov. 24 at 10:00 PM for the premiere of OBJECTIFIED. Director Gary Hustwit (HELVETICA) looks at our complex relationship with manufactured objects, the people who design them and the creative process behind their work. Step inside the offices of the world’s most influential product designers to see how these objects influence us––oftentimes without us even knowing it.

There are objects in our world that bring us particular joy or spark immediate recognition. Truly great design doesn’t have to be expensive; in fact, things often become common precisely because they are the most innovative.

Which iconic object best captures your personality?

Upcoming Screenings

    Dirt! The Movie

    Community Cinema selections are screened in over 50 locations throughout the United States. In March, Community Cinema presents Dirt! The Movie, directed by Bill Benenson and Eugene Rosow.

    It’s under our feet and under our fingernails, but what is it? And how did it get there? Inspired by William Bryant Logan’s acclaimed book Dirt: The Ecstatic Skin of the Earth, find out how industrial farming, mining, and urban development have led us toward cataclysmic droughts, starvation, floods, and climate change. Dirt is a part of everything we eat, drink, and breathe. Which is why we should stop treating it like, well … dirt.
