For the occasion of TURIN DESIGN OF THE CITY special screening of DREW: THE MAN BEHIND THE POSTER

On the occasion of the great Turin Design of the City international event, the National Cinema Museum is presenting the special screening of Drew: The Man Behind The Poster by Erik Sharkey (Usa 2013, 97’), on Wednesday 11 October at 8.00 p.m. within the suggestive setting of theTemple Hall.

The film will be introduced by Laura Milani, President of the National Cinema Museum and Direttore of IAAD - The Italian University for Design.

This documentary, unreleased in Italy, recounts the life and artistic career of Drew Struzan, one of the most famous and prolific poster-designer of the films of the last decades. His name will not mean much to many, but he is the mind and the hand behind some of the most famous movie posters in history, including, just to name a few, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Star Wars and Harry Potter. The documentary tells the story of this great artist with exclusive interviews with George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Michael J. Fox, Guillermo del Toro and Steven Spielberg.

The National Cinema Museum, perfectly nestled in the architecture of the Mole Antonelliana, the symbol of the city, is aiming to strengthen its key role in the interdisciplinarity of the arts: cinema has always contained and harmonised scenic, visual and figurative arts, and the museum represents them all by its very constitution, thanks to evocative and strongly emotional language which exploits the force and drama of Antonelli’s verticalism.

The evening is part of a series of events organised by the National Cinema Museum, aimed at enhancing crossovers between the arts and performing languages, and is included in the calendar of collateral events organised by Turin Design of the City (10-16 October 2017) for the occasion of the World Design Organization General Assembly.
