CULT FILMS POSTERS OF THE 1990´s

The exhibition presents twenty posters for cult films of the 90´s. These films raced across the screens of Czech cinemas throughout the nineties, and those who didn't see them didn't mean anything. They flew through Czech cinemas, and often only the extent of the beer-soaked floor indicated how many hundreds of people were devouring them.

The set represents ten posters for Czech films of the 90´s and ten foreign movie classics.

The 1990´s saw the rise of a new generation of artists (Najbrt, Cihlář) who designed posters for their friends – the directors of their films– and at the same time wanted to build on the creatively original film posters of their predecessors (who in many cases were also their professors at studies), but also to meet the growing demands of the film market.
This is the case of the posters for the films: Smoke, Horror Story, Whisper, Cosy Dens, Czech Soda, Razors, Indian Summer, Return of the Idiot, The Wonderful Years That Sucked.

Cult classics selected from foreign films are then represented by movie posters: Natural Born Killers, 12 Monkeys, Apocalypse, People versus Larry Flynt, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Silence of the Lambs or Trainspotting.

The posters on display are part of the Terry Socks poster collection. These are contemporary prints, which the Czech distributors of these films had to supplement with the logos and names of companies and media that shone in the corporate sky of Czech business.

This too will bring you back to the warm arms of the nineties.
