The Cuban-published journal of film Cine Cubano has been issued sporadically since the 60s. Mostly it's black and white, text heavy and a little rough round the edges. The reproduction of photos and images shows the limitations of the equipment available in Cuba. These three issues all feature articles on Cuban posters.
Issued in 1973, Cine Cubano 86/87/88 includes El Cartel Lo Util y Lo Bello (The Poster, Useful and Beautiful) by Marisol Trujillo. It reviews a number of late 60s posters, some of which are very wild. The images are all black and white and the text is in Spanish but there are a lot of great posters featured over 20 pages.
Cine Cubano 95 celebrates 20 years of Cuban cinema and features an article by Manuel Lopez Oliva reviewing the Cuban film poster. The 12 page piece includes some poor quality black and white reproductions of some classic posters and few rare examples.
Cine Cubano 100 features a number of colour reproductions of Cuban posters, mostly issued in the 80s. No text.
