Walker Art Center Presents the 2008 British Television Advertising Awards
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.
