Minneapolis, November 4, 2005—Now celebrating its 29th year, the
2005 British Television Advertising Awards
returns December 2–30 for another rousing run of screenings at the Walker Art Center, where last year more than 11,000 people saw the 2004 award-winning spots. Awards Administrator Peter Bigg will be on hand to introduce the opening-night screenings on Friday, December 2, at 7 and 9:30 pm. Remaining programs during the month include evening and matinee screenings.
Highlighting creativity from across the Atlantic, this new batch of innovative, racy, and side-splitting spots includes a local twist: the ITV Best Television Commercial of the year features Garrison Keillor serenading us while a Honda Diesel engine floats across an idyllic, animated landscape. 2005, U.K., color, video, 68 minutes.
Tickets for the Brits screenings are $8 ($6 Walker members) and can be purchased by calling the Walker box office at 612.375.7600 or online at walkerart.org/tickets.
