Is there anything more clichéd than to use a film reel or a film strip on a poster associated with movies? No, Fritz Bühler thought, and created as early as 1945 one of the – if not the – first great film festival poster. His pixellated duotone close-up of an eye for the Film Festival Congrès International in Basel is in so far very special as it’s easy to grasp from afar but difficult to recognize at close range.
