2008 British Television Advertising Awards

Bursting with creativity and chosen by the advertising industry’s top executives and producers across the globe (including Minneapolisbased Brian di Lorenzo, director of integrated production at BBDO), these sly, sexy, hilarious, and thought-provoking British spots have been a Walker highlight for 20 years. The program includes work by acclaimed directors Harmony Korine (Kids, Mr. Lonely) and Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull, The Departed), who offers a dizzying take on a lost Hitchcock script. 2008, video, 98 minutes.
