For decades, large hand-painted posters announcing the week's new releases adorned the facades of many theaters. Behind many of those monumental images was the same name: Rafael Ruiz. Now, his work is being brought back to mind with <a href="https://www.conselldemallorca.es/esdeveniment/-/asset_publisher/BBpGDQJbEML8/content/palma-ciutat-de-cinemes/13251338" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">the exhibition </a><a href="https://www.conselldemallorca.es/esdeveniment/-/asset_publisher/BBpGDQJbEML8/content/palma-ciutat-de-cinemes/13251338" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><em>Palma, city of cinemas</em></a>which can be seen at the Misericordia cultural center. Among other historical documents, the exhibition includes original material from the poster artist and the documentary <em>The ephemeral dream</em>Directed by Toni Bestard.</p>]]></description>
