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 movie: Todos a la cárcel (1993), directed by Luis García Berlanga, is a Spanish black comedy set during a Christmas Eve celebration in a prison. The event brings together politicians, businessmen, and influential figures who gather to support the rehabilitation of prisoners. However, beneath their charitable gestures lies a web of corruption, hypocrisy, and self-interest. As the festivities unfold, the characters’ schemes expose the deep-rooted dishonesty of Spain’s political and social institutions. With his characteristic satirical style, Berlanga delivers a biting critique of power, greed, and moral opportunism.
