2017 POSTER BOOK LIFF 2017 Is Presented By 2017 POSTER BOOK LIFF 2017 is presented by Leading Funders Leading Partners Major Partners Introduction Since the beginning of commercial cinema, posters have been an integral part of the film production process and one of the distributor’s most important marketing tools. Even in the current digital age, movie posters remain one of the key selling tools to attract an audience. Over the years several artists have become famous for their film posters including Saul Bass, Richard Amsel and Drew Struzan - the work of these artsts is immediately recognisable and can be found hanging on living room walls around the world. Other artists gained notoriety for their reinterpretation of Hollywood movie posters, such as Basha (Barbara Baranowska) from Poland for her psychedelic version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The current trend for graphic artists redesigning studio posters is led by artists such as Olly Moss. The humble film poster, once purely a promotional tool, has been elevated to fine art. This booklet brings together the posters of all 135 feature films screening in LIFF 2017. The collection includes many original language posters, as well as some artists’ reinterpretations, plus a few that have been created especially for LIFF, as official posters don’t yet exist for these films. Several of the posters for classic films are instantly recognisable, such as the iconic The Silence of the Lambs and James Bond posters, while Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lodger and Jean Cocteau’s Orphée hark back to an earlier time when posters were lovingly hand- drawn and painted. Enjoy browsing through the collection – maybe some of these posters will one day end up hanging on your walls at home. Dogwoof Film Poster Exhibition If you like this collection, why not check out the LIFF 2017 Film Poster Exhibiiton at North Bar, which showcases a number of recent film posters from Dogwoof, the leading documentary sales agent and UK theatrical distributor, including many that have screened at LIFF in the past.

  • Beyond the Films Themselves Hollywood Is Not Just Fancy Dresses and Gossip: Vermeer Rarity Exists in the Artwork
    BEYOND THE FILMS THEMSELVES HOLLYWOOD IS NOT JUST FANCY DRESSES AND GOSSIP: Vermeer Rarity Exists in the Artwork by Dwight Cleveland Movies are arguably the most influential art form of the 20th Century. Everyone loves the movies the world over. U.S. film companies have averaged $1.25 billion in global receipts each year for over 15 years. In terms of intellectual consumption it has been one of the U.S.’s largest exports every year since the early 1930’s. One can now view current films on hand-held devices like iPads and mobile phones, at home On Demand or with a purchased or rented DVD, or old-school style “at a local theatre near you.” The options are ubiquitous by necessity. Movies have given us words to live by, iconic phrases that are universal: “Make my day.” “You look’n at me?” “I’ll be back!” “You can’t handle the truth.” “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.” Where on earth would one have to go to find someone who didn’t understand these words? The movies are a way of life and an influence on everyone, everywhere. So if the movies are such an integral part of our cultural fabric, why do the posters advertising those films mean so little to most people, especially industry insiders? Back in the day, film posters started out as the only advertising agent for a newly released movie. During the early years, the entire ad budget went into the artwork, design and printing of the posters. From the teens through the 1930’s, they were beautiful stone lithographs with sophisticated graphics and fully saturated color schemes.

If not the most important publicity tool, the posters on outside or inside carriages -trams, rickshaws, auto- rickshaws, delivery-vans, buses, railway carriages, toilet, wall of cinema hall and busy chowk, etc. draw attention of public very easily.

  • The Art of the Dance Movie Poster from the Mike Kaplan Collection a Note from the Collector
    Gotta Dance! The Art of the Dance Movie Poster From the Mike Kaplan Collection A Note From The Collector Maybe I was born with a poster gene. As a child in Providence, R.I., I’d remove the full-page theater ads announcing a new play or musical from The Sunday New York Times, color them with paints or pastels and then compare the results with the printed versions when I visited New York with my parents. Though they were not then available for public purchase, movie posters could be easily viewed as they were prominently displayed in lobby frames and exterior display cases at every cinema. I loved movies and movie posters equally and studied both. Whenever a new Otto Preminger film was announced, I would await its opening, but would be just as excited in anticipating the first look at the film’s poster; for Preminger employed graphic master Saul Bass, and Bass’s concepts were always bold, sophisticated and surprising, such as THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM (1955), ANATOMY OF A MURDER (1959), and ADVISE AND CONSENT (1962). Becoming part of the film industry in 1965 allowed me to collect new film poster favorites. This was still a period when a poster's key art, along with the trailer, were the main advertising tools in attracting audiences. My mantra was that a film’s campaign could determine its success and that every good film could be a box office winner if it had the right poster. Then a transitional period occurred in which painting and illustration began to fade from view.

  • Introduction We Seem to Accept That Certain Things Can Be Reproduced for Example, Furniture
    Introduction We seem to accept that certain things can be reproduced for example, furniture. We might see ‘Genuine Georgian reproduction’ in a furniture shop and we will accept this reproduction. Art galleries sell reproductions of paintings for us to hang on our walls, paintings of which we may never have seen the ‘original’. Indeed the original might be disappointing after only ever having seen the reproduction for many years. It seems inevitable that when a film director makes a film whose source is a novel or a play the critics instantly make a comparison with the original, commenting on what has been left out and what has been changed. What should be asked, however, is why certain things have been left out, why changes have been made and do these alterations to the ‘original’ text actually interfere with our understanding of the original and the new text – the film. Task Try to come up with definitions of the two words ‘adaptation’ and ‘reproduction’. How does each relate to the idea of an ‘original’? When you have done this let’s complicate matters a little by putting in three other words: ‘based on’, ‘inspired by’ and ‘replica’. How do these fit into this pattern? You might also like to consider what we mean by the word ‘original’. ©Film Education 2004 1 Adapting a text Bride & Prejudice is based on Jane Austen’s novel, Pride and Prejudice; however, it is not a straightforward ‘adaptation’. We could say that there are three different types of filmic adaptations of novels and plays: 1. transposition – where the novel is directly given on screen 2.

  • Analyzing and Creating Movie Marketing Posters
    Analyzing And Creating Movie Marketing Posters Frank Baker (Copyright, 2012) This activity has two parts: first, analyzing existing film posters; and secondly, creating posters. How to locate film posters online: 1. Go to the Internet Movie Database, www.imdb.com search for any film, then go to the bottom of the page and look for the link to POSTERS under the PHOTOS & VIDEO category. 2. Or using the Google search engine, enter the title of your film in quotes (e.g. “the bourne legacy”) and the plus symbol (+) and the word “poster” in the search engine, For example: ” the bourne legacy” + “poster” Then click the IMAGES option at the top of the page or in the left hand column. Note: many of the results may be too small to be studied. Place your cursor on top of any image and look for the phrase “MORE SIZES.” Click that phrase. The returned results will provide you with many options. You should choose the option that returns the largest file size. This can be copied and pasted and inserted into a Powerpoint (or similar program) in order to be projected on a screen. 3. Analyzing and deconstructing the movie poster. Questions to consider: 1. Is the movie title prominently featured? Is the text easy to read? 2. Are the main actors shown? If so, which ones? What do their appearances and expressions convey about the movie? 3. What is the design of the movie poster? Does it accurately reflect the mood and tone of the film? 4. What other images are included? What do you notice about the framing of the images? 5.
