CINE-PASSION POSTER COLLECTION 36

The works presented in this publication illustrate an alternative to the Hollywood film poster with its canonical motifs and pompous spectacle. The unorthodox visual language of these other film posters largely dispenses with star portraits and film stills. The subtly poetic and often ambiguous films are interpreted individually, the visual material is creatively defamiliarised and the content consolidated into symbols. To this day, designers still celebrate the film poster as an autonomous artistic medium.
