A handful of highly skilled artists in Ghana are behind some of the most imaginative, beautiful and exaggerated film posters. These posters are hilarious, captivating, colorful and highly impressive. So much so, that they’ve become a worldwide sensation!
Whilst you may disregard these as misleading bootlegs, anthropologist Dr. Joseph Oduro-Frimpong believes that these posters are vital artifacts of Ghanaian art, history and culture. And he should know, he’s collected over one hundred of them. We begin Black History Month with this story exploring the incredible talent Ghana has to offer…
Special thanks to the Ashesi Center for African Popular Culture.

They are lucky these have been preserved. Here in the Philippines, it was practuce to have hand-drawn movie posters on large plywood billboards. Due to the time constraint, the posters kind of look worse versions of the original poster. Unfortunately, the plywood was used in some houses and afaik, none remain.

it's a shared experience in indonesia too, i was a kid in late 80s and early 90s, and it was super common back then to see the paintings displayed outside cinema buildings. super nostalgic, and now i finally can appreciate the efforts the painters put into their works. they're beautifully done.

In the past, Indonesia also had this tradition. they used a painting as the official poster for the film.

wow its pretty much the same at the cinema in Indonesia, to be precise in My hometown called Purwokerto. This cinema called Rajawali stand strong till this day, the unique part is they still draw their display poster manually since the 70's or 80's (CMIIW), they placed the hand drawn poster in the top of the building to gain more consumer.
