The 50s and 60s saw a burst of intense innovation in French cinema, a spirit reflected in the bold film poster designs of the time

When Tony Nourmand began collecting movie posters and other print memorabilia from the French New Wave 30 years ago, he could usually pick them up for next to nothing. “I remember going to Paris and walking into poster shops and digging for hours,” he recalls, “and then I’d suddenly find a poster for Breathless and it was 50 francs, and I’d be so excited. Nobody else seemed to care.”

These are GREAT! Lovely to see the original Pickpocket and Alphaville ones. Of the French New Wave directors, Truffaut remains my favourite for the Antoine Doinel cycle.

It’s a great thing to conceptualise and create new ways to market. It isn’t rule breaking but design. Telling a new story.
