Re: Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled]
I wonder whether the Valhalla would have just relied upon their calendar to promote most films they didn't actually have a financial interest in? Many fridges at the time had a Valhalla calendar on them. Here's one from Sydney with the aforementioned Big Meat Eater.

I've never seen any for Plan 9 or Robot Monster. I did attend that double bill at the Valhalla back in the 80s.

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
Yes, I know that when I worked on films back in the 80s, a lot of them were made independently and had posters printed by the filmmakers even before they had distributors. Often they'd use a random printing company who did a good rate, and there was no sticking to the standard poster sizes. I worked on a few Paul Cox films and tried to get them to conform to a standard one sheet but I think they ended up being slightly different in size...oh well, I tried!theartofmovieposters said:There are a bunch of these, hmmm how do I say, odd daybills for this time period. I assume there was alot of this made and self distribution happening in the 80s?

Re: Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films
A Going Down (1983) Australian rare daybill poster. It was shot and self -distributed on 16mm by the maker's Smart films Ltd. The were very limited numbers of screenings secured so little in the way of box office receipts were taken.

The very small number of Filmways/Filmpac daybill film posters, and also a few others printed by some different 35mm distributors in the late 1970s,that were covered earlier with having blank sections on the bottom would have surely been intentionally designed and printed in this reduced image format for whatever reason.

My thoughts on the Australian daybill film poster allocation of blank space for screening details information.
Originally introduced on the top of Australian long daybills sized 15'' x 40'' in the early nineteenth century until 1941, when this size was replaced with a smaller 13'' x 30'' size that was now printed without a blank area included.
In the 1970s and 1980s on 16mm commercially released films only a blank space for screening details. was now included on the bottom of the posters.
More to follow shortly.
