Art & Copy

Dir(s): Doug Pray

Program: Next

Run Time: 86 | USA  | Language: English 


You see an average of 5,000 ads every day. Most of them suck. A handful are good. Only a few look and feel like-and indeed really are-art. The most innovative advertising campaigns of our time and the creative rebels behind them are the fascinating subjects of acclaimed filmmaker Doug Pray's Art & Copy. Slick footage and stories from industry legends chart the creative revolution that sees a splinter group shift from merely moving product to moving culture. Phyllis K. Robinson empowers the "Me generation" with a Clairol slogan and Hal Riney re-elects Reagan with "It's morning in America." Yes, they sell widgets, but just as artists do, they also tap zeitgeists and rouse emotion: Lee Clow's "Think different" tagline grows more than Apples and Dan Wieden's "Just do it" makes athletes of us all. Pray's captivating tribute- like an ad itself-sells you on the undeniable art of advertising. Myrocia Watamaniuk.
