Original The Third Generation Movie Posters

The Third Generation movie posters from Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1979 political black comedy — made under difficult conditions with improvised funding and shooting simultaneously to sound — are among the more challenging and visually striking items in the Fassbinder collecting catalogue. Shop our collection of original German, French, and international formats from this provocative and technically distinctive film. German first-release posters from The Third Generation are exceptionally difficult to source in fine condition; the film was produced on a modest budget, printed in limited quantities for art house distribution, and surviving examples have thinned considerably in the forty-five years since release. French and international art house printings represent alternative formats for collectors unable to locate domestic examples. Original promotional material in any format is rarely offered for sale. Fassbinder shot the film on location in Munich and West Berlin, layering multiple audio tracks to create a deliberately disorienting viewing experience that reflected the confusion of his protagonists. The film's marketing campaign used spare, conceptual design approaches typical of late 1970s political cinema rather than the illustrated campaigns common in mainstream distribution.
