From WWII through the fall of Communism, the streets of Warsaw and other Polish cities were blanketed with posters announcing opera, theater, film and other cultural events. The imaginative metaphors, brilliant colors and powerful visuals put Poland in the forefront of poster art. Freedom on the Fence details the evolution of this art form by revealing the unique role posters played in the social, political and cultural life of Poland, including rare footage of Henryk Tomaszewksi, the undisputed master of the Polish poster. This inspiring documentary is a visual feast for the eyes.

The directors of Freedom on the Fence tell a compelling story. As it is narrated through interviews and rare documentary footage, the fate of the Polish poster is inextricably bound up with the political context in which the posters have been produced.—Victor Margolin, Professor Emeritus of Design History, University of Illinois at Chicago
