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: Tiempo de Morir (Time to Die) is a 1965 Western film by Mexican director Arturo Ripsteins. The film follows Juan Sayago, who returns to his hometown after 18 years in prison for killing a man in the duel. Upon Sayago's return, the man's sons seek revenge for their father's death.
