the film stage, best movie posters of 2025_010126
the film stage have very kindly included our april and the heirloom posters in their best movie posters of 2025 list. whilst ben petrie’s the heirloom poster was placed in their runners-up category, they went as far as to consider our poster for dea kulumbegashvili’s april their 4th best poster of the year.
here’s what jared mobarek at the film stage had to say about the april poster:
The initial inscrutability of Caspar Newbolt’s (version_industries) design for April is a huge part of its appeal—abstractions ask the viewer to look beyond its formal success and find a path towards its visual interpretation of systemic violence. We aren’t witnessing an illegal abortion via characters and action so much as a representation of the procedure’s power within a repressive state. This serenely calm and cloudy sky destroyed by hastily covered blood portrays a tacit agreement. It shields the evidence of its horror while allowing the patriarchy to keep pretending everything is fine.
a huge thank you again to jared and the film stage for the continued support of our work.
