Over the past five decades, Feref – one of the world’s most exciting and innovative creative agencies – has dreamed up some of film history’s most iconic one-sheets, from Bond to Star Wars, from Get Carter to Enter the Dragon.

 

Over the years, as the company expanded and evolved, it built up an astonishing treasure trove of artworks, containing thousands of its attention-hooking creations and enshrining the very best of the pre-digital era of film-poster design. On 22nd April 2021, Propstore is opening up that treasure trove to you, with a very special exclusive collection of content in their next Cinema Poster Live Auction.

 

Lot 6. BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA (1986)

If you want to be part of this amazing opportunity to own a piece of this exclusive Feref collection sign up for updates below. You’ll get a VIP sneak peek at the entire catalogue a whole 72 hours BEFORE the full auction catalogue goes live and you’ll get a reminder to join in with all the action as the bidding goes live from the 23rd March – 22nd April 2020 in Propstore’s upcoming Cinema Poster Live Auction.
With bidding starting from the 23rd March till the 22nd April, you’ll be able to appreciate the amazing work of artists like Eddie Paul (the first “e” in Feref), Brian Bysouth and Arnaldo Putzu, whose Get Carter images remain as striking 50 years on as the day they were inked. There’s such diversity here, too. Alongside the big names we all know and love, you’ll find such fascinating curios as 1977 Mexican Jaws rip-off Tintorera: Killer Shark, obscure Polish fantasy adventure The Knight, and the luridly sexploitative Bad Girls Dormitory.

The blockbusting icons are present and correct, of course, though often in ways you’ve never seen before. Represented in proof prints, transparencies and negatives – revealing the tangible, hands-on process of Feref’s early days – this collection includes many alternative concepts for poster campaigns. Most notable is the selection of Star Wars original trilogy artworks, which include a number of unused concepts for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, giving a sense of how complex and challenging a campaign it must have been.

Join us from 12pm BST (GMT +1) on April 22nd and watch the auction live!
