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.
