The Utopian Avant-Garde: Soviet Film Posters of the 1920s explores the origins, high points, and eventual demise of this golden age of Soviet graphic design, a revolutionary, though doomed visual language that for a short time represented the explosion of dynamic, innovative filmmaking in the new Socialist society. Gartenberg Media distributes several of the milestone Soviet films which are well represented in this exhibition, including KINO-EYE (1924), BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN (1926), A SIXTH PART OF THE WORLD (1926), and TURKSIB (1929).

Movies, meanwhile, were undergoing a transformation of their own: the rise of a truly independent cinema, of works unencumbered by the medium’s aesthetic conventions and commercial imperatives.
