Exhibition Traces of a Time - Film Poster 1980-1989 presents film posters from the funds and archives of Serbian Film Center.

For the purpose of the exhibition, 34 film posters of films made in the eighties of the last century were selected and represent significant works of Yugoslav cinema, such as Marathon Family, Who’s Singin’ Over There, Petria's Wreath, All That Jack’s, Special Treatment, The Fall of Rock&Roll, The Meeting Point, and other.

Zdravko Mićanović, a professor at the Faculty of Applied Arts on subject - Poster, in the foreword of the exhibition catalog pointed out: "During the eighth decade, despite the unfavorable socio-political circumstances, 285 genre-diverse films were shot in SFRY. Thirty-four double-sided posters, a very small segment of such an extensive production, with a significant number of examples are an indicator of the current stylistic and artistic trends and streams of the time they were made in, surpassing their own commercial purpose. The exhibited posters in this analysis, arranged in alphabetical order and by year, mostly belong to films from the first (12) and last (11) year of the eighth decade".

This exhibition follows on the very successful and well-attended exhibition Traces of a Time: Film Poster 1970-1979, which presented posters made for popular war spectacles, such as Stipe Delić's The Battle of Sutjeska, Zika Mitrović's Guns of War, Hajrudin Krvavac's Battle of the Eagles, as well as the poster of the film also directed by Krvavac Walter Defends Sarajevo, the most watched Yugoslav film, which represents the pinnacle of the Yugo-western, and many others.
