La multi ani!

The Romanian publishing house Casa Filmului Acin used to publish many postcards in black and white and in colour with international stars. In the early 1970s, Acin also made black and white calendar cards in mini format (6 x 10 cm) with famous stars: the series La multi ani! (Happy birthday!) Our friend Alina Deaconu from Bucharest likes to collect them and sent us many photos of her La multi ani! collection. Today, at the end of this year, we share 27 of these with you. Thank you so much, Alina!

Acin calendar cards

Alina Deaconu wrote to me: "As you well know, writing about the Acin calendar cards is a very complicated job. Here I'm referring in particular to the small black-and-white calendar cards (6 x 10 cm) edited by Acin.

The Acin film house, Casa Filmului Acin, started editing cards with actors and scenes from films somewhere around the end of the 1960s. The vast majority of these early cards were black and white. The small calendar cards appeared between 1970 and 1973. This is all that I know about them.

In the following years, more calendar cards were published by Acin, but these were in a postcard format and in colour. An example is the Brigitte Bardot calendar card in colour in this post.

My collection of small calendar cards îs for 90% made up of cards bought in recent years. They are very rare and are very hard to find anyway. It would be interesting to know if someone else has more information about the postcards and calendar cards edited by Acin.

I don't know anything about collectors of the Acin calendar cards. A seller from whom I bought many postcards and calendar cards gave up his collection and that's how I managed to purchase a few more."
