Event Details
Tickets & Info
Short-form filmmaking meets creative advertising in the Walker’s blockbuster event of the year. From fast-paced montages to atmospheric slow burns, the British Arrows Awards showcases the emotional and stylistic breadth of moving image advertising.
As a time capsule, the Arrows reflects the cultural trends of our current moment. This year, A$AP Rocky appears in a love-story-turned-Chanel-ad directed by Michel Gondry, while Stanley Tucci stars in a mockumentary-style interview for San Pellegrino. Winning ads span surrealist comedy, poignant PSAs, and everything in between. By blurring reality and fantasy, the program prompts us to consider how storytelling can change the way we think, feel, and behave.
Taking place over the holiday season, the Walker’s annual moving image program offers a curated selection of artful ad reels that are sure to provoke as much as they delight.

The British Arrows is a nonprofit organization started by the creative industry for the creative industry, and every year it celebrates the best in moving image advertising in one of the oldest awards shows in the United Kingdom. The Walker Art Center’s involvement with the British Arrows started in 1986. After a screening of the British Arrows award-winning ad reels at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Walker’s curator at the time wanted to bring the show to Minneapolis. The involvement between the two organizations became a long-standing collaboration, which continues to run proudly today.
