"In Russia, Movie Watches YOU!!"

I just noticed that a while back one of my best friends sent me a link to some hand crafted African movie posters. In very rural areas of Africa, Russia, South America and many other places in the world, some folks set up short run theaters, bringing movies to other folks who rarely get such a treat. Often, since promotional materials as we know them are not available, local craftsmen will design promotional materials for the films, often never having seen the film prior to having to design something for it. Interesting to say the least.
