Poster, Semana de Cine Cubano en Bolivia (Cuban Cinema Week in Bolivia)

This is a Poster. It is dated 1985 and we acquired it in 1994. Its medium is screenprint on wove paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.

After the Revolution of 1959, Cuba exceeded in producing culturally rich posters and films. In particular, the Instituto Cubano del Arte y la Industria Cinematrograficos (ICAIC) was established in result of the culture law developed by the revolutionary government. This new governing system believed that film media was to be the impetus for education and spreading nationalist ideas to the public. The plan to disseminate these ideas involved travel film exhibitions, of which Bolivia was one of the countries who hosted a week of Cuban film.

It is credited Museum purchase from Smithsonian Institution Collections Acquisition Program Fund and through gift of Anonymous Donors.

A rectangular poster with a vertical orientation employing letterpress on wove paper. Beige ground color occupies the upper portion with a narrow strip on the bottom left next to a saturated navy rectangle covering the bottom right corner extending to above center. Centrally located and horizontally placed are intensely watchful eyes colored in blue tints and shades, with a beige stripe above and below matching the above ground, focussing on a vertically placed film strip of a woman, right of center, colored in tints of red-orange. The word “FILM” is diagonally positioned across the center of the poster, beginning in the lower left. “FIL” is placed overlapping the navy rectangle in a darker shade of red-orange than the “M” which peeks through on the top side of the navy rectangle on the beige ground and is vibrant red-orange. This color is also employed in the film strip and vertically placed bands supporting the stems of the letters under the “ITF” which is printed in black located mostly in the upper half near the upper right corner. The initials “ITF” stand for “Internationale Tentoonstelling op Filmgebied” printed in navy, like the rectangle in the lower half, placed above the “ITF” initials. The location information of the exhibit is located across the bottom in two rows spanning both the beige and navy ground colors. All typography employed is of a different typeface design and size. The photograph captures the front view of the poster with a white border.
