Separate Cinema is an archive of more than 37,000 original film posters, lobby cards, film stills, publicity material, scripts, and an extensive reference library that together document African American cinema history from the earliest days of Hollywood to 2019. The collection was founded in 1972 by John Kisch and selections from it were published in two major catalogues in 1992 (A Separate Cinema: Fifty Years of Black Cast Posters) and 2014 (Separate Cinema: The First 100 Years of Black Poster Art). In 2020, the Separate Cinema Archive was acquired by the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Los Angeles. This poster advertises an event celebrating the publication of one in a series of smaller catalogues of the collection.
