The 16th RAI Film Festival Programme is packed with stunning and innovative films. Many of these also have stunning, innovative posters. Festival Manager David Edgar picks his favourites.
Laurent Van Lancker’s Kalès challenges the voyeuristic gaze upon the Calais “jungle”, often frustrating our attempts to survey and authoritatively know this landscape as we are immersed in it. This bold poster similarly plays with ideas of obscurity, hiding more of an image than it shows.
Woven out of animation, home movies, and clips snatched from Bollywood movies, Abu has the feeling of scrapbook and/or a journal; this charming illustration captures this heartfelt sentiment of this lovingly crafted autobiographical doc.
A dreamy poster in which spectators seem to swim in an alien world with giant ants; supremely appropriate for Riccardo Palladino’s dream-like encounter with a strange feast day upon an Italian mountain.
