LGDA is hosting a screening of the film Art & Copy on Thursday August 27, 2009. I had never heard of Art & Copy so I had to do a little digging. Here’s the description LGDA provided and the trailer I found:
ART & COPY reveals the stories behind and the personal odysseys of some of the most influential advertising visionaries of our time and their campaigns, including Lee Clow (Apple Computer 1984, and today’s iPod); Dan Wieden (“Just Do It”); Phyllis K. Robinson (who invented the “me generation” with Clairol); Hal Riney (who helped President Reagan get re-elected); and George Lois (who saved MTV and launched Tommy Hilfiger overnight).
Directed by Doug Pray (SURFWISE, HYPE!, SCRATCH), ART & COPY captures the creative energy and passion behind the iconic campaigns that have had a profound impact on American culture. Featuring rare interviews with the aforementioned industry legends, the film seeks to identify the elements that transform an slogan into a pop culture catch phrases.

Cool! I was just reading about this movie the other day and was disappointed that it was limited release and figured we wouldn’t get to see it in Louisville. Guess we do get the privilege of checking it out. Thanks LGDA!

The event is actually being hosted by Louisville Film Society & LGDA and is free to both organizations’ members. This is our second screening together. The first was Helvetica at 21C. Hope everyone can make it!

I guess it’s moved from the Green Building to 21C because of the overwhelming response. And it will be screening at 7:30 now.
