Indian Hippy is committed to reviving the traditional art of hand painted film posters in India. By giving the last remaining film poster artists a supporting platform to showcase their panache, albeit on a different canvas, Indian Hippy strives to:
Revive love for the traditional art and colours associated with hand painted film posters, and in doing so, hopefully capture the interest of the younger “computer graphics” generation to study and ensure the continuity of hand painted poster culture.
In today’s fast food era, digital posters can be printed at the click on a button in a matter of minutes. The significant contribution made by film poster artists to the Indian film industry lies forgotten, and the art headed for extinction. Indian Hippy aims to revive the magic of hand painted film poster art, and hopefully encourage the younger generation to learn from the few practicing artists in the trade, who are more than willing to pass on their knowledge and experience.
Indian Hippy is always on the lookout for talented film poster artists in India to join our team, so please do get in touch! For more information, please contact us on (+91) 08080822022 or write to us at: hippy.in@gmail.com
