Reelizer returns as an online collection of film art, with its site currently listing 218 works. Daring Fireball reported on September 26 that curator Roger Erik Tinch had revived the archive after it had been offline for several years.
The return gives viewers access to a catalog that Reelizer describes as “standout film art, selected since 2011.” The site is an archive of movie posters and related film-art works curated by Tinch, according to Daring Fireball.
What is Reelizer and who curates it?
Reelizer is a curated online archive of film art. John Gruber of Daring Fireball wrote that he first linked to it in 2011 and identified Roger Erik Tinch as its curator. Neither Reelizer’s visible homepage nor the Daring Fireball post explains why the archive went offline or gives a more precise return date.
The live collection presents individual work pages and labels the displayed entries “Artwork unavailable.” That is the extent of what the visible listings establish about availability.
What is in Reelizer’s collection?
The 218-work count includes posters, paintings, illustrations and screenprints tied to films and filmmakers. Among the works shown on the site are Matt Taylor’s Maestro of the Movies: A Tribute to John Williams poster, Simon Bisley’s The Terminator painting, Akiko Stehrenberger’s Uncut Gems screenprint and Travis Charest’s Ripley illustration.
Other visible entries include Craig Drake’s Basic Instinct screenprint, Matt Ryan Tobin’s Japanese-variant Halloween II screenprint, Andrew DeGraff’s La La Land anniversary map poster and Noriyoshi Ohrai’s Mad Max 2 illustration.
The current listing also includes a group of works credited to Sister Hyde associated with Stanley Kubrick films, including 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Lolita, Spartacus and Killer’s Kiss. Two 2001: A Space Odyssey screenprints, by Deb JJ Lee and Matthew Woodson, also appear.
Daring Fireball’s assessment that the revived archive appears better than before is opinion, not a documented comparison. What can be verified now is narrower: Reelizer is online and its homepage exposes a 218-work film-art collection.
