Ghana movie posters are FAMOUS for their incredibly garish and exaggerated take on the movies they try to portray!
Let’s take a look at some of the best Ghana movie posters and compare them to the actual movie posters. Tell us which YOU prefer! 😀
Ghana Movie Posters : What’s The Deal?
The famous hand-painted Ghana movie posters started in the 1980s, when makeshift (bootleg) mobile cinemas became popular.
To attract viewers, these intrepid entrepreneurs needed to advertise their movies, but they had one big problem – they did not have access to the original movie posters, or printing presses.
So they commissioned local artists to hand-paint movie posters on large, used flour sacks. Since the emphasis was to attract people, these artists often took creative licence in creating their works of art.
They often made the posters look as dramatic (read : crazy) as possible, even adding weapons, characters and scenes from other movies.
No wonder they now enjoy a cult following, with some original posters going for thousands of dollars!
