Polish Film Posters: 1954 – 1970

29 Jan – 25 May 2015

An exhibition charting the Polish School’s response to British films which spoke to the very human emotions and challenges faced by those across the world.

Since exploding onto the graphic design scene in the late 1940’s, Polish film posters have attracted international admiration. Framed by a culture of Cold War politics, the posters skillfully integrate image and text, referencing everything from folk art to Pop Art. Drawn from the BFI’s Special Collections, this exhibition charts the Polish School’s response to British films which spoke to the very human emotions and challenges faced by those across the world.
