Died Young, Stayed Pretty

Died Young, Stayed Pretty is a candid look at the underground poster culture in North America. This unique documentary examines the creative spirit that drives these indie graphic artists.The film gives us intimate look at some of the giants of this modern subculture. Outside of their own circle, they're virtually unknown. But within their ranks they make up an army of bareknuckle brawlers, publicly arguing the aesthetic merits of octopus imagery and hairy 70s porn stars. Along the way, they manage to create posters that are strikingly obscene, unflinchingly blasphemous and often quite beautiful.
With personal appearance and introduction by the director, Iranian-born Canadian filmmaker Eileen Yaghoobian. This project is the pinnacle of her 12-year career in film and premiered at the 2008 Montreal World Film Festival.
Posters from the film will be on exhibit at the screening.
