26 black and white cards by Acin

Last week, EFSP presented a selection of colour postcards by Casa Filmului Acin from Romania, one of the best-known film postcard publishers from Communist Eastern Europe. Acin also produced countless black and white cards with scenes from European films of the late-1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. It's great that some of the classics of Ingmar Bergman, Luis Buñuel and Michelangelo Antonioni were included but also Spaghetti Westerns with Franco Nero and Bud Spencer & Terence Hill, Eurospy films, the Angélique adventures, and the Louis de Funès comedies.
