An exceptional photomontage promotion for a film festival held in Paris' Ranelagh Theater, dedicated to avant-garde directors shooting in the 8mm format. Organized by Jerome Diamant-Berger, who came from an illustrious family of French movie pioneers, the festival featured directors of varying levels of obscurity, but also some important names like Orson Welles, Chris Marker,William Klein and Jean-Luc Goddard. The poster itself is a gem of modern avant-garde design.
