This holiday season, the Walker carries on a 24-year tradition as host to the ever-popular British Arrows Awards. An eclectic mix of compelling mini-dramas, outrageous wit, and awe-inspiring innovation, the dozens of winning spots come from all across the UK’s multimedia advertising platforms. From high-tech extravaganzas to down-and-dirty comedy, this celebration of commercial creativity brings people back year after year.
ASL-interpreted and audio-described screenings: December 15, 1 pm and December 20, 7 pm.
