NomaScope / Museum Cinema / The Silence of the Lambs, 1991

Cult films accompanied by a short introduction and admission to the exhibition Noma Bar: Look Again

Over the years, Noma Bar has created posters for some of cinema’s most iconic and celebrated films. NomaScope, a film series presented in conjunction with the exhibition Noma Bar: Look Again, features films for which Bar created reinterpretations of their original posters, now on view in the exhibition.

In his illustrations, Bar has a remarkable ability to distill a complex idea into a sharp, lucid image. Often, it is precisely the negative space—what is not drawn—that contains an additional layer of meaning, transforming what we thought we saw at first glance. Bringing the films together with the images Bar created for them reveals how an entire cinematic world—its characters, ideas, and tensions—can be distilled into a concise and surprising visual interpretation.

Each screening will be preceded by a short introduction by Yuval Saar, curator of the exhibition.
