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: Amarcord (1973), directed by Federico Fellini, is a nostalgic and surreal portrait of life in a small Italian coastal town during the 1930s, under Fascist rule. Through the eyes of a teenage boy named Titta, the film explores the everyday lives, dreams, desires, and eccentricities of the town’s inhabitants. Blending humor, fantasy, and melancholy, Fellini captures the rituals of family life, adolescence, and community. Beneath its comic and dreamlike atmosphere, the film offers a subtle critique of Fascism, provincialism, and collective memory.
