British Arrows

The marvelously creative “adverts” of British TV continue to dazzle and delight. Annually recognized with the prestigious British Arrows awards, these tiny national treasures are brought together in a celebratory touring compilation that has become a cult favorite in cinemas worldwide, including the DFT.

With their quirky inventiveness, playfulness, and power, these British advertisements—crafted to present products with winningly off-center wit—always deliver a satisfying, decidedly British kick.

A door-busting phenomenon for years at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, the refreshing British Arrows have also become a beloved December tradition at the DFT. (Approximately 75 min.)
