THE WORLD'S BEST FILM FESTIVAL POSTERS 2022

By José Alberto Hermosillo

After the pandemic, 2022 has been a meaningful year for humanity, where the idealistic concepts of hope, resilience, acceptance, solidarity, and understanding prevail. To assimilate the transitional moment we live in, the arts play a fundamental role in channeling those emotions and values in the right direction.

Film festivals ignite the public’s awareness and participation in the yearly cinematic experience by creating a commemorative poster with vivid visuals reflecting their culture, themes, diversity, and iconography.

This year, the festivals followed an environmentalist trend with physical elements such as transparent crystals, bright gold, shiny silver, and bright blends. 

The images of open skies, bronze soils, pristine deserts, and evocative beaches converge with the deep blue oceans, blending everything harmoniously with other pastel colors and mild tones, giving most creations a naturalistic pattern.

THE WORLD’S BEST FILM FESTIVAL POSTERS 2022

The quest of searching, curating, selecting, and classifying the pieces – and adding the authors, the meaning, and the techniques used in every stunning poster requires time and persistence. The outstanding selection of artworks maintains the quality and consistency of their graphics to the highest level. Dozens of talented artists and graphic designers shaped thought-provoking, luminous pieces.

The selected posters are from all five continents and entered the list, including the works of prestigious festivals such as Venice, Miami, Guanajuato, Morelia, and Berlin. Other festivals displayed outstanding quality in their projects and deserved to be mentioned. Pleasant surprises from emerging players come to light. Festivals such as Santa Barbara, San Sebastian, Palm Springs, and Turks & Caicos (in the Caribbean Islands) announce their original creations in a formal ceremony. 

The use of numbers in graphics
Film Festivals use numbers in their creations.

Using “numbers” as a centerpiece or focal point is a significant slip-up. Numbers have no beauty, harmony, or inspiration. Those are just numbers. Dates and years are essential but not a fundamental part of the creation. No matter how bold the concept is, numbers are generic, not aesthetic.

If you aspire to perfection, hire a consultant, specialist, another graphic designer, artist, teacher, friend, or client - someone who can give a fresh perspective, redefining and polishing the artwork. Consistency is the key to reaching mastery.

It is time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the incredible selection of The World’s Best Film Festival Posters of 2022.
