Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills
























































The American feminist artist Cindy Sherman (1954) is famous for the Untitled Film Stillsseries (1977-1980) that consist of black-and-white photographs of the artist posing in different stereotypical female roles. Although she poses for her photographs, Sherman’s pictures are not self-portraits in a traditional sense.
The roles in the Untitled Film Stills series vary from an immature schoolgirl to an attractive seducer and from a glamour diva to a caring housewife. Importantly, her work encourages self-reflection in the spectator. As Sherman argues, “I’m trying to make other people recognize something of themselves rather than me.

Olly Moss remake of famous movie poster



























































































Brillant movie poster work by Olly Moss. Less is more!







































As for film poster collectors, I have noticed a shift away from a strict
policy of collecting posters of one genre, director or star, towards an
approach more appreciative of the image and design of the poster. Bass' ability 
to transcend a film's 'look' and create meaningful symbols has made him the 
single most requested film poster designer of his time

Cuban Film Posters





































































El Instituto Cubano de Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (ICAIC) was responsible for both domestic film production and the distribution of foreign films in Cuba. By founding a silkscreen workshop to create posters for all films shown in Cuba it created an aesthetic unity between these two branches of activity. The characteristic look of the Cuban film poster help fuse national and international productions into a single cinematic cultures.

As with Polish posters, Cuban designs were used not so much for promotional purposes- cinema was consistently popular and most films showed to a full house- but more as a form of cultural education,presenting a distinctively Cuban Slant on the film's subject.

Thoughts:
Can singapore movie posters reflect that kind of aesthetic or present a distinctively Singapore slant?
