Why there are no pictures here
Typography is the poster.
Information is the artwork.
Every film archive looks the same because every film archive is a wall of posters. FrameSouth carries none — not a poster, not a still, not a backdrop, not a photograph of a single actor, actress or director. There is no blank frame waiting for one either.
What is left is the thing that actually distinguishes one film from another: who made it, who is in it, who scored it, when it opened, and what it is. Set large enough, that reads as design rather than as a database.
