The personal odysseys of some of the most influential advertising visionaries of all time and the stories behind their campaigns.
He may not be household name, but Joe Caroff is one the most influential graphic designers of the 20th century. His work is a history of the pop culture of our time: from iconic corporate logos (like ABC News and ORION Pictures) and book jackets (Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead) to some of the most instantly recognizable “title treatments” for such classics as WEST SIDE STORY, A HARD DAY'S NIGHT, CABARET, LAST TANGO IN PARIS, MANHATTAN, and the James Bond gun logo. Caroff’s story is told by the centenarian himself, with reminiscences of growing up during the Depression and service in WWII, along with interviews with Phyliss Caroff, his wife of over 70 years, producer Mike Medavoy, and others.

On a very dark night, in the boiling atmosphere of the recent Iranian uprising, a woman and a man travel through time and remember. Since September 2022, a large part of the Iranian population has been in revolt. Women and men are saying ‘no’. What is the content of this ‘no’? Totalitarian resentment condemns us to forget, but the film’s protagonists try to go back in time through their own memories-footages, and take us through the labyrinths of a society in search of its image. Memory-image is a weapon with which they hope to rescue a revolt, a liberation
