A close friend of the Archive was
recently lucky enough to secure one of these beautiful posters (40cmx x 60cm French
petite, left) for the 2009 Grand Lyon Film Festival in which Clint attended. These
posters have proven incredibly hard to acquire. The rare poster was also
produced in a landscape style for the event which took place between the 13th
and 18th of October.
The landscape design version (below) contained a little
more of the classic man with no name image in comparison to the portrait version. I
have also included a picture of Clint at the event with film critic Pierre
Rissient (right) and French director Bertrand Tavernier (left). The photo was
taken on the last day of the festival. Behind them is the standee banner style
of the poster.
My kind thanks to Davy Triumph who is the friend in question and now lucky owner
of the petite. Should anyone happen to have any version rolled up and doing
nothing but gathering dust – I will of course be happy to look after it on your
behalf – lol, I jest… kinda
Hi! The photo with Clint Eastwood in Yugoslavia weren't shot in Vizininada but Petrovaradin fortress, just across Novi Sad (Serbia)
