The exhibition on the film poster collection and the history of the cinemas in the 1950s was extended and organized in nine different neighborhood libraries in Ghent from January 2022 to January 2023. The travelling exhibition provided explanation about the art and craft of film poster design in the 1950s, contextualized by ECA research done on the history of the venues and the film programming. In addition, more than 100 film poster reproductions were exhibited with archival objects to illustrate the Gent cinema culture in the 1950s (such as magazines, original film posters, movie memorabilia and collectibles). The exhibition was free to attend and visitors could leave their thoughts and memories written down in a guest book.
