Sponsored by the Cultural Service of the French Embassy in the U.S. "Films on the Green" is a series of outdoor movie screenings, that has become a tradition to welcome new students into campuses in the Boston area (in this case at Harvard University).

The design is a visual interpretation of the movie, portraying the world of a spirited group of teens, their strong bond, and the harsh realities of life in a housing project in the suburbs of Paris. At the same time, the poster needed to convey a sense of community and ensure good visibility to attract students the event.
