Welcome to The Film Poster Gallery.
Our passion is the collection, preservation and display of original film advertising material. Initially some 25 or so years ago we were solely focused on collecting titles that played a part in our own childhoods, however as our collection grew, we gained a far greater appreciation for older titles, be it for their stunning hand drawn artwork or the merits of the movie itself. As a result we now spend all of our spare time hunting out and saving these original pieces of art from being lost forever. Some titles we restore, others we display ‘as found’ to help tell the story of the piece.
Our main collection focus is the silent era (pre 1930's), wartime and post war military themed productions, New Zealand cinema, British post war comedy, 50's onwards Sci-fi and the many films we are fond of. Whether a David Lean epic or Sergio Leone/Clint Eastwood western!
We created the website to allow us to sell some of the items that are duplicated within our collection/archive, with the intention for sales to provide funding for the purchase, restoration and permanent display of pieces that we feel would be of interest to film buffs, art lovers or those who generally have an interest in vintage items from yesteryear.
All visits to our home gallery are by appointment only, please contact us to arrange a suitable time.
