As part of the Common Thread design exhibition, Emily Carr University of Art + Design hosts a film screening of Freedom on the Fence.

Freedom on the Fence is a documentary project about the history of Polish posters and their significance to the social, political and cultural life of Poland. The documentary captures the paradox of how this unique art form flourished within a Communist regime and contains interviews with older and younger generations of poster artists, examples of past and current poster work, historic and current film footage of where and how the poster is viewed, and commentaries from both American and Polish scholars and artists on the significance of the Polish poster as a cultural icon.

Tickets are available through the Society of Graphic Designers of Canada. A question and answer session with producer Andrea Marks, will follow the screening.
