The Moving Couch Cinema was a series of movie screenings hosted by Rita Davis and Björn Giesecke. Taking place on a couch with four wheels moving through the Estonian Academy of Arts in Tallinn. Arriving every time at a different location – staircase, fine arts drawing studio, bathroom, exhibition space. Staying for short, projecting a movie, and moving back.
The pamphlets produced for each occasion gather scanned bits and fragments to provide context for further reading, like transcripts, film reviews, interviews, and newspaper clippings.
The title features the first use of Drama. An all-caps monospaced zig-zagging typeface based on Rogers (Boston, ca. 1889). Drama can run up (Zig), down (Zag), around corners (Zig Zag), on uneven ground (Zig Zag Zig Zag), simply straight ahead (Horizontal), and is variable for everything in between.
