Typeface airs 10pm tonight on WTTW as part of the Chicago PBS station's ongoing celebration of 45 years of Kartemquin Films. The local emmy-nominated documentary about the convergence of modern design and traditional technique focuses on the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.

Typeface continues its PBS broadcast run tonight with a Boston/New Hampshire television premiere on NHPTV Explore at 9pm.

We've also been able to confirm new broadcasts coming up this week in Denver, Michigan, Kansas City and Rhode Island! Here's the full list of upcoming broadcasts:

Typeface is currently being broadcast nationally across many different PBS outlets. Please check your local listings as so many new screenings are being added that we can barely keep up with adding them to our website (we just found out about 30 different markets carrying the film)!

We are delighted to announce a special Kartemquin 45th anniversary screening of the newly restored The Chicago Maternity Center Story in New York City. The screening is presented by Stranger Than Fiction at the IFC Center and will take place on April 19 at 8pm. Gordon Quinn and Suzanne Davenport, two of the film's five co-directors, will attend and take part in a discussion following the screening.

Check out this interview with Hamilton Wood Type Museum's Moran Brothers, who stopped by Kartemquin headquarters to chat with us about the huge impact that Typeface has had on the museum, the town of Two Rivers, Wisconsin, and also in uniting the letterpress community. As Jim Moran puts it, people who see the film are regularly emailing him saying "I just saw the film... what can I do help?" That's exactly the sort of engagement we love to hear about at Kartemquin.

Good news Typeface fans!  Building on its international screening calendar, Typeface will begin broadcasting on PBS stations across the country beginning April 4th. Call your local station and request the film today!

Stay tuned for some major international broadcasting news and additional US screenings soon!

After a successful PBS Independent Lens broadcast, over a hundred screenings worldwide, and multiple audience awards and film festival distinctions, Kartemquin's Milking the Rhino is finally hitting the Big Apple with a New York City premiere screening on March 17th.

Some great reviews have come in for the newly restored The Chicago Maternity Center Story in advance of tomorrow's 45th anniversary screening (with Kartemquin's Women's Voices: The Gender Gap).

Kartemquin is delighted to announce that Sharene Miller, subject of The Chicago Materity Center Story, will be attending our screening of the film on Saturday in Chicago at 1:30pm!

Sadly, adverse weather conditions forced the cancellation of our Tulsa screening of Typeface last week. However, we have good news: we will soon be announcing a rescheduled screening, and we do at least have a radio interview with Typeface director Justine Nagan from Tulsa Public Radio as compensation.
