EINA Barra de Ferro Arts Centre is hosting the screening of “Los últimos / Endless Letterpress”, a documentary on the latest letterpress prints in Argentina made by Pablo Pivetta and Nicolàs Rodríguez Fuchs, which will feature a presentation by Enric Jardí, coordinator of the Master's in Advanced Typography at EINA.
The documentary focuses on how, in light of the deterioration of the machines and the advance in new technologies, the old printing presses are closing their workshops. At the same time, a group of young people are rediscovering the greatest technical innovation in the history of the written word: movable type printing. The last graphic mechanic in the country will be responsible for teaching them. The documentary is a reflection on how letterpresses are withstanding the passage of time.
