Black and white poster advertises the film "Latino." "Save the Date! !Anote Las Fechas!" is printed above a rectangular graphic. The graphic contains a black background that becomes a landscape in silhouette at top. A tree with bare branches and many small people are visible on the slanted horizon. Below the landscape, a face half in shadow appears at lower left across from "Latino" in large cursive font. Text at upper right across the image reads: "Latino Task Force of Friends of Nicaragua Culture presents / Sixteen years after his personal vision made 'Medium Cool' one of the most important movies of its time, Academy Award-winner Haskell Wexler turns to one of the most compelling stories of our day." Film credits are printed in the lower right corner of the image. Printed just below the image text reads: "two major showings of the movie "Latino" to benefit the Latino Solidarity Delegation to Nicaragua. Filmmaker/director Haskell Wexler and starring actor Ricardo Lopez will speak at both showings." Text printed below a horizontal black line on the lower two-thirds of the page includes event information for two showings at La Pena in Berkeley (Friday, July 11, 7:30pm) and The Roxie in San Francisco (Sunday, July 13, noon), the sponsor (Latino Task Force of Friends of Nicaragua Culture), a list of endorsers, and a Spanish translation of previous text. Color has been added with marker to the poster with "Latino" colored in with red and red and black lines drawn below center at right.
