FIRST IMPRESSIONS: VINTAGE CZECHOSLOVAK FILM POSTERS
ACMI Building, ACMI Mediatheque, Fracture Gallery, 14 - 23 Sep
CaSFFA presents two exhibitions informed by the 2016 festival theme Text and Texture. Classic film posters and work by local artists sit side by side across multiple sites in an exploration of the evocative terrain between books, film and visual art.
A stunning assortment of vintage Czech and Slovak film posters sourced directly from Prague and Bratislava. Including posters for films in this and previous years’ CaSFFA programs, the exhibition showcases the distinct typography, imagery, colours, shapes and signs that originally heralded coming attractions to eager cinema audiences but now endure as reminders of a once-thriving art form that distilled the essence of an entire film into a single enigmatic image.
