A Limited Edition Art Print (signed by artist Jay Ryan; 208/220; measures 18" x 24" [46 x 61 cm]) (Learn More) Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the classic 1977 Steven Spielberg (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) science fiction (sci-fi) alien UFO melodrama ("Close Encounter of the First Kind: Sighting of a UFO"; "Close Encounter of the Second Kind: Physical Evidence"; "Close Encounter of the Third Kind: Contact"; "We are not alone."; "Every 15 minutes, someone sees a UFO"; "Written and Directed by Steven Spielberg") starring Richard Dreyfuss, Teri Garr, Melinda Dillon (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Francois Truffaut (the famous French director, in an acting role; "as Lacombe"), Bob Balaban, and Cary Guffey (as the little boy). Note that Paul Schrader wrote the original screenplay for this movie, but Steven Spielberg made many changes to Schrader's script. Finally, Schrader asked that his name be taken off the screenplay, and since it had to have someone's name on it, Spielberg put his own name on the screenplay!

This art print is one of the 270 Mondo/Alamo Drafthouse art prints in eMoviePoster.com's "Second Ever Major Mondo Print Auction". What is the special auction? First, some background: In December 2020 eMoviePoster.com auctioned 2,346 Mondo art prints (from the collection of Mondo founder, Tim League), and they sold for $732,660.00! But Mr. League mostly only gave us prints from 2013 to 2020, because the ones from before that time (back to 2004!) were ones he either only had one of, or very few. NOW WE HAVE BEEN CONSIGNED A COLLECTION OF 257 PRINTS, MOSTLY ALL BOUGHT DIRECTLY FROM MONDO, AND ALL BUT 12 ARE FROM BETWEEN 2004 AND 2012! These are the "rarest of the rare", and hardly ever change hands, and when they do it is usually for lots of money! But, as with all eMoviePoster.com auctions, ALL of these started at $1, with NO reserves and NO buyers premiums! The 257 auctions in this "Second Ever Major Mondo Print Auction" are the first 257 lots at the start of eMoviePoster.com's April Major Auction, and all the auctions end April 17, beginning at 7 PM Central Time. Condition: fine. The art print is in excellent condition and it displays quite well! Learn More about condition grades
