Related information: Strictly Ballroom is a 1992 Australian romantic comedy film directed and co-written by Baz Luhrmann in his feature directorial debut. The film is the first in his Red Curtain Trilogy of theatre-motif-related films; it was followed by 1996's Romeo + Juliet and 2001's Moulin Rouge![2] Strictly Ballroom is based on a critically acclaimed stage play, originally set up in 1984 by Luhrmann and fellow students during his studies at the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Sydney. An expanded version of the play became a success at the Czechoslovakian Youth Drama Festival in Bratislava in 1986. In 1988, it had a successful season at Sydney's Wharf Theatre, where it was seen by Australian music executive Ted Albert and his wife Antoinette. They both loved it, and, when Albert, soon after, set up the film production company M&A Productions with ex-Film Australia producer Tristram Miall, they offered Luhrmann their plan to transform his play into a film.[3] He agreed on the condition that he would also get to direct it.[4] The film has become a staple of pop culture, being referenced in various media worldwide. Many television series have episodes with titles referencing the film, including Phenom ("Strictly Lunchroom"), Even Stevens, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody ("Loosely Ballroom") and Groove High ("Slightly Ballroom"). The film is frequently referenced on the American iteration of Dancing with the Stars, as well as influencing the name of the original UK version Strictly Come Dancing. Background - I worked in the UK video distribution industry from 1982 to 1994. Each week I received a delivery of video sleeves for the future new releases and also video posters and other point-of-sale material. Around 1985 I started collecting the posters and other interesting promotional items. Between one and several of each went straight from the large flat cardboard shipping packaging in which they were received from the distribution warehouse in London, into cardboard boxes. Later I bought large plastic stacking crates that enabled posters up to 20 x 30" to be stored flat. The larger ones were loosely folded as required to fit into the crates. Some posters came pre-folded from the printers. The common approximate sizes: 24" x 17" (60cm x 42cm)27" x 18" (68cm x 45cm) e.g. Warner28" x 20" (70cm x 50cm)31" x 20" (80cm x 50cm)33" x 24" (85cm x 60cm) e.g. RCA40" x 30" (102cm x 76cm) Quad, One-SheetBanner posters, usually around 12" x 60" The crates have been stored in dry, dark conditions with little disturbance. Therefore most of the items are in very good condition considering their age. This is commonly known as "A1" or "Near-mint". The posters have never been displayed or exposed to direct sunlight, therefore I am listing as "NEW" rather than used. They have been handled with care a few times during their journey through time and space to the present day, and any defects collected along the way will be mentioned in the listing. All are original posters that came direct from the UK film distributors. I am slowly going through them, and any duplicates I find, along with others that don't interest me personally for my own collection, are being listed for sale. SHIPPING Posters will be carefully rolled with protective paper and shipped in tubes, sent using a tracked service of Correos, the national postal service of Spain. Sometimes pre-folded posters are sent flat in cardboard envelopes. TAXES The packaging is marked "Printed Paper", and so far I have never been asked to provide customs paperwork, and I have never heard of any buyer being asked to pay import duties or taxes in the destination country, other than any country-specific purchase tax that is added by eBay at the time of purchase.
