The
British Television Advertising Awards
program returns for another smashing run of screenings at the Walker Art Center, December 5–30, where nearly 20,000 people saw the 2007 award-winning spots. Awards Administrator Peter Bigg will reprise his role as host of the opening-night screenings on Friday, December 5, at 7 and 9:30 pm. Remaining programs during the month include both evening and matinee screenings.
Bursting with creativity and chosen by the advertising industry’s top executives and producers across the globe (including Minneapolis-based 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.
Tickets for the British Television Advertising Awards screenings are $10 ($8 Walker members) and can be purchased by calling the Walker box office at 612.375.7600 or online at walkerart.org/tickets.
