Graphic design has been a fundamental section of the festival since its inception. Every year, La Cabina has supported an innovative and disruptive graphic image, where illustrators, artists or designers confront the challenge of having to represent the essence of the festival in poster format.

Join us in the journey to visit the different pieces created from 2008 until this edition and the authors who generated La Cabina posters, visual references in the Film Festival panorama.

15th edition – La Cabina (2022) poster– Author: Luna Pan

Luna Pan (1994), based in Valencia, works as a freelance illustrator for sectors such as the press, publishing and posters, both nationally and internationally. In her spare time and for the “love of art”, she also self-publishes fanzines. The scene that the designer wanted to represent for La Cabina is a costumbrist image that portrays “The invisible work behind the production of a project -in this case, a film festival project- that has a strong public vocation and offers a leisure service that is only possible by combining communication, collaboration, teamwork and a lot of enthusiasm”, Luna Pan.

14th edition – La Cabina (2021) poster– Author: Jaume Mora

Jaume Mora (València, 1995) graduated in illustration at Alcoi’s EASD (School of Art & Design), he has a versatile style that has allowed him to create different types of work, having specialized in editorial illustration for press and in poster design. “The poster was born from a process of sketching, trying to work on color and compositional references. I also reviewed previous editions’ posters to not repeat something that had already been done.” From there, three sketches were selected, and one was singled out that “changed a lot until it became what the poster currently is.” “The characters were picked from a large library I have of characters drawn in various sketchbooks, I chose those that had to be part of the poster”, Jaume Mora.

Illustrator Ada Diez explains how the poster breaks the fourth wall to transform the audience into an accomplice (represented by the central figure), displaying the relevance of the points of view that drive the narrative to the depths of the work of art “based on a great variety of classic and contemporary medium-length films.” Additionally, what couldn’t be missing were the “small details referring the passing of time, which are essential in this festival”.

12th edition La Cabina (2019) poster – Author: Ausias Pérez

Renown Valencian artist Ausias Pérez, creator of artwork for artists such as Rosalía, Nathy Peluso and Los Chikos del Maíz, has created two versions of the poster in which the architecture of the main festival headquarters takes the limelight: the Filmoteca of València and the Centre Cultural La Nau.

9th edition La Cabina (2016) poster – Author: Lawerta

“The idea of the poster was to represent, using the medium-length film imagery, that inside of the phone booth of La Cabina there is something magical that is awesome and difficult to explain. López Vázquez is inside of the phone booth, but instead of being stressed and anxious for not being able to come out, he is actually delighted to be inside of the booth enjoying himself”, comments renown illustrator and designer Lawerta (València, 1983). His work displays unique pieces where typography and pop-style portraits with a distinctive personality merge together.
