Eclectic Gallery presents Cuban Cinema in Frames, an exhibition of original Cuban film posters at its gallery in Fitzrovia, central London, from 19 November to 8 December 2026. Hand screen-printed in Havana and supplied directly from the Cuban Institute of Cinematographic Art and Industry (ICAIC), each poster comes with an official ICAIC stamp and certificate of authenticity. All works are available to purchase.
Founded in 1959, ICAIC transformed the film poster into an art form in its own right, commissioning bold, hand screen printed designs from some of Cuba's most celebrated graphic artists. Rather than relying on film stills or star portraits, Cuban designers distilled each film into a single striking image, drawing on pop art, photomontage and abstraction. These posters are now recognised internationally as part of Cuba's cultural heritage, and ICAIC's 1960 to 1980 poster collection was inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register in 2023.
The exhibition brings together work by René Azcuy Cárdenas, Antonio Fernández Reboiro, Rafael Morante, Pepe Menéndez, Julio Eloy, Ernesto Ferrand, Arturo Santana and Nelson Ponce.
