Pressing On: The Letterpress Film: Directed by Erin Beckloff, Andrew P. Quinn. With Paul Aken, Stephanie Carpenter, Richard Hopkins, Jim Moran. Why has letterpress printing survived? Irreplaceable knowledge of the historic craft is in danger of being lost as its caretakers age. Fascinating personalities intermix with wood, metal, and type as young printers save a traditional process in Pressing On, a 4K feature length documentary exploring the remarkable community keeping letterpress alive.

“Art, mechanical tinkering and collecting collide in this well done documentary on letter press. Very enjoyable and nice to know that this piece of history is being preserved!”
