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.
