Silkscreen Cuban Film Posters 1965–1974

Updated 12/2020: I found some more posters and have appended them.

Sponsored largely by the Instituto Cubano del Arte y la Industria Cinematográfica (ICAIC), these posters span subjects as diverse as education, culture and reproductive health, political marches and other overtly political or propagandist themes consistent with the objectives of the regime. During this ‘Golden Age of the Cuban Film Poster’, Cuban graphic artists pushed the boundaries of 20th-century design, despite working under increasingly stringent financial and political constraints.
