Film Poster Paintings from Ghana


In the 1980s video cassette technology made it possible for “mobile cinema” operators in Ghana, West Africa to travel from town to town and village to village creating temporary cinemas. The touring film group would create a theatre by hooking up a TV and VCR onto a portable generator and playing the films for the people to see.

In order to promote these showings, artists were hired to paint large posters of the films (usually on used canvas flour sacks). The artists were given the artistic freedom to paint the posters as they desired, here's a blog that posted some of these astounding works of art.
