Opening at 4 p.m. on Sunday April 11, 2010
The film directors Eisenstein (Battleship Potemkin), Pudowkin (The Mother) and Vertov (Man with the Movie Camera) were the founders of an innovation in film technique called ‘Kino Auge’, the world seen through the eye of the filmcamera. That is, free of false romanticism, objectively and with a view that need not coincide with the view of ordinary people.
For Vertov film was an art concept, he worked together with Alexander Rodschenko for example, who designed the poster for Vertov’s film ‘One sixth of the earth’.
Between 1926 and 1932 - 1932 is the year in which Stalin restricted freedom of expression in arts- artists and designers produced posters in which the latest techniques and insights were materialized.
In the exhibition a hundred film posters of this short blooming period of the Russian Poster will be exhibited.
