The Polish Poster and Film

Saturday 30th March, 2013

Custard Factory Theatre | 17:15 - 18:45

In recent years there has been a renewed interest in graphic, non-photographic film poster art. The Polish school of poster art is a key influence on this trend. This presentation by Daniel Bird outlines the emergence of the Polish poster school of the late 1950s. It discusses the historical, cultural and political contexts out of which these groundbreaking poster artists emerged. As well as introducing some of the key figures of this movement - Henryk Tomaszewski, Jan Lenica and Roman Cieslewicz - it focuses on the relationship between Polish posters and film.
