To honor the best British and international contributions to film in 2014, on February 8, the 68th British Academy Film Awards (or BAFTA), was held at the Royal Opera House in London. The British version of the Oscars, the BAFTAs had five films in their Best Film category: Birdman, Boyhood, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything. While Boyhood took home the top prize, British creative agency Human After All and illustrator Malika Favre created a poster for each of the nominated films. These retro illustrations all cleverly tell the main plot line of the movies in the not-so-hidden shadows.
