Illustrated Poster for a Unique Film Screening

Director Michael Lockshin’s anti-war stance left him exiled from Russia and without commercial distribution rights to his new film, prompting him to host screenings at US colleges branded as educational programming.

This poster for a screening at UChicago purposely strays from commercial film promo conventions. Instead, it directly engages with the unique mix of constructivist and art deco aesthetics of 1930s Moscow captured in Lockshin’s film, highlighting the screening event’s art historical dimension.
