The homemade movie posters of Ghana

The homemade movie posters of Ghana
I love this kind of material, the kind you could never see if not for the internet.


"People in Ghana love movies. In the 1980s most of the population couldn't afford to own a VHS recorder. That's when someone came with an idea of the mobile cinemas. Mobile cinema operators traveled around the country, from village to village, creating temporary cinemas.
To attract people they hung very cool self-made movie posters on the cinema buildings."
