Cuban Movie Posters

Cuban movie posters are the expression of a graphic accompanying Cuban cinematographic art along its way. From the very first item kept in Cinemateca de Cuba: La Manigua o La Mujer Cubana (1915) to recent posters for national productions, they all made up a collection of high value for our heritage. Originally, posters were conceived as an ephemeral work to promote a film, a showcase, an event or a movie retrospective, but many of them managed to change their role to an artistic one decorating houses and offices. But on the basis of new proposals with great beauty, visual impact and communicative efficiency, posters certainly contributed to visual education of audience.
