To celebrate News UK’s The Sunday Times’ inaugural Film & Screen Season, creative agency Grey London, part of WPP’s Team News has created an eye-catching series of posters to bring readers the insider’s guide to film – quite literally.
The beautifully minimalist posters – which will run in-paper and online – imagine scenes from some of the world’s most-iconic films through the eyes of their protagonists: A spider’s-eye view of New York City, a robotic snapshot of Tatooine, Raoul Duke’s dusty, aviator-clad road to Las Vegas, and the wide-eyed wonder of the Minions
The series will be concluded with a one-off execution to coincide with the paper’s Oscars special, which depicts big screen icons concealed, in the style of Russian Dolls, within a golden Academy Award.
February sees The Sunday Times, together with The Times, bring readers a whole month dedicated to their exclusive film and screen season through editorial content, Membership offers and exclusives. This insider’s guide to film flips the way we look at the medium and analyses not just what is on the screen, but what lies behind it – enabling readers to ‘see it all from the inside’.
