An Original Vintage Unfolded Film Festival Poster (measures 23 1/4" x 35" [59 x 89 cm]) (Learn More) Filmex '81 (also known as The Los Angeles International Film Exposition), the 1981 film festival promotional poster ("April 1 to 18 1981 in Hollywood"; "Presented by the Filmex Society as part of the Los Angeles Bicentennial") which was held in Los Angeles from the 1st to the 18th of April, 1981. Note that this poster features an image of Hollywood in a snow globe created by Saul Bass, Herb Yager and John Livzey (there is a printed credit for Mr. Bass in the lower right corner). Artist: Saul Bass, Herb Yager & John Livzey Important Added Info: This is a very rare uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, the stars, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Some of them would be fully trimmed, but often they would leave the color chart on the left edge of many of the posters, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 23 1/4" x 35" [59 x 89 cm]). Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test poster far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine as there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! Condition: fair to good. There is discoloration scattered in some areas of the poster from exposure to moisture. The poster has creases scattered throughout from being tightly rolled at one time. There is a large tear at upper right that has been repaired with tape from the back. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
