Ruchome Piaski movie posters

Ruchome Piaski (English title: Shifting Sands) is a 1968 Polish psychological film directed by Władysław Ślesicki, starring Małgorzata Braunek, Marek Walczewski, and Grzegorz Zuchowicz.

Maciej Hibner (b. 1930) designed two poster variants. Both use Red Roses and Helvetica for the title and the genre label. Hibner modified Paul Sollberger’s shaded and contoured all-caps slab: he removed the black letter bodies, turning the design into an open face. The poster with the woman in bikini in front of a red sun has additional text in more Helvetica and Gill Sans. The second one with two smaller figures shown in the stylized desert has extended credits set in a version of Annonce / Aurora-Grotesk V – it’s probably Baccarat gruby as cast by the Warszawska foundry.
