Haas painting the latest "Todd-AO Festival" billboard. Image by Herbert Born
Mr. Haas is one of the
very few artists still working as a billboard painter. Mr. Hass also painted the
70mm first run
boards of "2001: A Space Odyssey", "Exodus" and many more for
the Schauburg cinema. He is still working and naturally doing the 2011
festival poster for us.
Mr. Haas has worked in the 60's, 70's and 80's for almost all cinemas in
Karlsruhe. They are all closed now, except the
Schauburg.

"The
Hateful Eight", January 2016
He once won a grand price from Walt Disney pictures for the best poster
decoration.
We are proud to use Mr. Haas' skills on our facade. Few cinemas have room
for it, but we do, and the audience appreciate the work he does
In 2017, German director Mr. Philipp Hartmann made a
short
film about Mr Haas, while making his own film
"66 Kinos", a
documentary about German cinemas.

Seit fast 50 Jahren der Schauburg treu ... Herr Haas, einer der letzten noch
aktiven Filmplakatmaler, an der Arbeit für das 70mm Filmfestival-Transparent,
das seit heute den Schauburg Eingang schmückt. Ein perfekter Blickfang mit
gekonntem Pinselschwung ... Danke, Herr Haas!!

Birthday Billboard
|
|
Hi
Thomas,
just saw Herbert's nice article about Mr. Haas and thought that you might be
interested adding one of the attached pictures to this article. It shows the
billboard Mr. Haas did for my 50th birthday screening at the
Schauburg back in 2008. There
were three of us "nerds" celebrating #50 on that day. The film's title is
not shown, by the way.
