Film Poster — ”Yossi & Jagger” (2002) - Film poster for ”Yossi & Jagger” (2002). The film stands as one of the most significant and influential works in the history of both Israeli and LGBTQ+ cinema. The poster conveys with precision the central conflict of the film: romantic and intimate love unfolding within a harsh and secret military framework. The following are the key details regarding the poster's design and its between-the-lines messages — the visual components of the poster. At the center of the poster appear the film's two leads — Yehuda Levi (in the role of Jagger) and Ohad Knoller (in the role of Yossi). The two are shown wearing IDF uniforms (fatigues and weapons), immediately conveying to the viewer that this is a military drama involving combat soldiers. In contrast to the harsh militaristic appearance, the actors' posture and gazes convey softness, sensitivity, and romantic closeness. The poster captures an intimate moment that stands in complete contrast to the atmosphere expected of an isolated military outpost in Lebanon. The contrast between symbols of Israeli masculinity (uniforms, ranks, weapons) and openly expressed homosexual love challenged, in its time, a deep taboo in Israeli society and in the relationship between the LGBTQ+ community and the military. The international version: several versions of the poster were produced for international festivals (such as the Tribeca and Berlin festivals), placing even greater emphasis on the romantic and universal element of the story in order to attract a broad audience abroad.  Quality printing on chromo paper. 68x50 cm.
