Senales Sobre la Ciudad - Nico 1969
Senales Sobre la Ciudad (Signali Nad Gradom or Signal over the City) is a 1960 Yugoslavian film about a rescue mission to save a member of the resistance during the second world war. Nico's playful imagery features the traditional helmet of the officers and colourful pop art graphics to illustrate the drama of the military operation.
I’m impressed, I must say. Really rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
Useful information ..I am very happy to read this article..thanks for giving us this useful information. Fantastic walk-through. I appreciate this post.

Poster Producers
ICAIC The Instituto Cubano de Arte e Industria Cinematográfico is the Cuban film institute. Formed soon after the revolution in 1959 it aims to promote the medium of film through a range of diverse activities including film and television production. The ICAIC printed the majority of its posters as silkscreens in 20x30 inch format. These posters were mounted in permanent display units across Cuba.
OSPAAAL The Organisation for Solidarity with the People of Africa, Asia and Latin America was founded soon after the Tricontinental Conference of 1966. It aims to bring attention to world issues and is anti-imperialist and generally socialist in focus. It publishes the Tricontinental journal. The majority of OSPAAAL posters are printed in offset, with no fixed size. The posters were distributed with Tricontinental.
COR The Comisión de Orientación Revolucionaria is a key Cuban agency designed to promote the ideals of the revolution. Its poster output is varied and sporadic.
Casa de las Americas Casa de las Americas deals with the promotion and development of the arts and cultural activities in Cuba. Its poster output is varied but often dynamic and colourful.
