Died Young Stayed Pretty: A Movie About Rock Posters opens next weekend at the Montreal World Film Festival.

The film peels back the paper curtain and looks behind the scenes of the underground poster movement. These graphic banditos roam the streets, plastering their work to every available surface. Under the guise of advertising rock shows, these unheralded masters of the silkscreen and xerox machine carry on public discourses on the merits and pitfalls of fried cheese and gritty porn.

The film includes posters by Art Chantry, Methane Studios, Seripop, the Ames Bros. and more.
