HELLBANGERS - Ghana Movie Paintings

Ghana movie posters - a match made in hell - Hellbangers!!!

With the arrival of video and video cassettes in Ghana (West Africa) during 1980s, a small-scale film distribution mobile cinema was created. The local operators were equipped with a television, a video player and, occasionally, with a portable generator.
They were moving from place to place showing their films - sometimes inside social clubs or houses and at night in open air!
In order to gather as many spectators as possible, they had to advertise their business and they needed huge posters. Because of this, a new art form was born.
After viewing the films, talented artists created large size posters using oil paint on used cotton flour sacks sewn together.
In order to make the poster more attractive, the artist had the freedom to add and change scenes seen, or not seen, in the movie. Each of them is UNIQUE because they express the vision of the artist himself.
