Original Movie Press Photos from around the World

All film press photos on this page are original movie (or video) products to help promote/advertise the movie.

Promotional film press photos are printed to be handed out to the press and other media. They are usually issued in sets and often shipped together with other items in film press kits that critics receive from the studios to liven up their reviews. Their soul purpose is to promote the movie title. Film press photos are usually 8x10 inch in size, printed in black and white and designed to communicate to reporters and media directors. They are used to help the media gain an understanding of the movies so they will write about them and use the photos as illustrations.

These pictures which grace the articles are usually the first thing that grabs our attention, and sometimes it's the only thing that we look at. Often, many unseen pictures are distributed for each movie. Here you can view and buy the most popular movie stills and photos from movie press kits.

Many foreign countries made and still make their own movie and video press photos, with sometimes very different often even superior art or design, and in smaller numbers.
