I enjoyed viewing the exhibit on Vic Delotavo’s movie posters for Philippine cinema. His works for the eighties and nineties have been iconic, and they have been executed without photoshop or filters.
The Vargas Museum was the ideal venue for the said exhibit. The natural light brought these posters back to life, and as a cinema enthusiast at a time of digital film and photo editing, I felt as if I was brought back in time.
I may be unfamiliar with most of the films in the exhibit, but the overall design was enjoyable.
Posters like this one for Impaktita set the tone for the film, and in those days before social media, they served as key promotional materials for movies.
Since I am celebrating the tenth year anniversary of my university graduation today, I posed by this poster for The Graduates.
I also got to view a beautiful exhibit on Batanes and its Ivatan culture.
There was no better way for me to celebrate ten years of being a college graduate than to visit a nearby museum to appreciate classic film posters and the people of one of my favorite provinces, Batanes. I hope that I can explore more museums, watch more films, and travel more in the future. For now, I am enjoying life, and blogging about it, one day at a time.
