I en tidigare tråd bjöd @Magnus Seter oss att beskåda ett gäng märkliga och alldeles fantastiska filmaffischer från öst. Jag vill gärna fortsätta traditionen och i min tur visa ett gäng fantastiska och bisarra filmaffischer från Ghana! Affischerna och dess kvalitet (eller brist på sådan) kommer sig av följande orsak (citerat från en artikel):
”A cottage industry quickly sprang up in the early 80s when the first videocassettes made their way to the West African nation of Ghana. Armed with a TV, a VCR and a portable generator, mobile cinema operators set up shop in city neighborhoods and in rural berg and began to screen Hong Kong action flicks, Bollywood musicals, Nigerian movies and Hollywood blockbusters.
In order to pack their mobile theaters, promoters hired artists to design movies posters — usually the sole means of advertisement for a screening. As with a lot of advertisements in Sub-Saharan Africa, the posters were hand painted on large pieces of canvas or used flour bags. The artists – many of whom seem to have only a tenuous grasp on perspective and human anatomy — were oftentimes commissioned to design a poster without having seen the movie or even really knowing what a given movie star looks like.”
Det är kanske inte snyggt egentligen, men jag tycker att det är väldigt charmigt!
