SXSW 2019

A conversation about movie posters

Description:

You used to see them in theaters and on walls, but now movie posters are everywhere—also on the web, on your phone, in apps. Key art has evolved dramatically since the painted and hand-lettered one-sheets of old. They vary from supersized posters in the urban landscape to tiny thumbnails in the iTunes store. New technologies, shifting demographics and tastes, changing fashions, and a radically different film industry present new opportunities and challenges. Join us for a conversation with three acclaimed film poster designers, as Akiko Stehrenberger, Kenny Gravillis, and Midnight Marauder talk about their craft.
