As opposed to the French who pioneered the lithographic process, Cuban poster production in the 1950s and 60s was primarily centered around silk screening. Images were built up through layers of paint rather than ink, resulting in a poster which more closely resembled a painting than a litho. The printing tradition continues with CartelON, a project devoted to promoting silkscreening in Cuba by organizing graphic design contests where creatives of all ages can be inspired to explore screenprinting.
About the film: Retrato de Teresa (Portrait of Teresa) is a 1979 drama film by Cuban director Pastor Vega. Teresa is a mother of three sons, textile factory worker, and union leader in Castro's Cuba. The film follows Teresa's clash with Ramón, her husband, whose views are deeply rooted in patriarchial beliefs.
