Alexa here to share my latest movie poster obsession: Czech film poster design. Under the communist regime from 1948-1989, Czech films were distributed by the government without the use of Western advertising. Czech painters and designers were commissioned by the Central Film Distribution Center to create posters, often with little information on the films. In the 60s and 70s, designers such as Zdeněk Ziegler, Karel Vaca and Wolfgang A. Schlosser created a defining Czech style, distinct from other movie posters in Eastern Europe, with an emphasis on typography and photomontage (as it happens, two of my favorite things).
The Seven Year Itch
Blow Up
In God We Trust?
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Jaws
I've been dreaming of a collection of my own lately, perusing those available for sale online. You can find many at this Chzech poster site, as well as here and here. There is also a sweet little etsy shop with a nicely curated collection.
