Double Bill Prints — 001 Incendies
2021
At the end of 2018, we (Sarah and Mathieu) started collaborating on our ongoing self-initiated film poster project Double Bill Posters. In 2021, we started doublebill.design and released three of our recent designs as limited edition A3 art prints. Made in Belgium with love for the environment. You can order one or more of our prints on our brand-new website and webshop doublebill.design. Unframed prints cost €35 + shipping.
Our first print is based on the film poster we made for Incendies (Denis Villeneuve, 2010). This design was one of two in our double bill for Canadian director Denis Villeneuve.
The three dots are a key element in the narrative of the film and signify the search for identity and heritage. We used a grainy background with clouds of smoke to refer to the gritty, war-riddled atmosphere in an undefined Middle Eastern country.
001 Incendies was printed by Studioboekenbergdrukt on her Risograph printer in Bright Red (Pantone 185U) and Black. This technique uses vegetable-based ink made from rice bran oil, which is extracted from the hard outer layer of the rice grain. Risoprinting is like automated screenprinting – each one of our prints is unique! To add richness to these colours we chose a slightly yellow paper: Fedrigoni Freelife Vellum Ivory 120g (40% recycled).
Limited to an edition of 30.
