Night of the Ad Eaters (Ad Exhibition)

Congress and World Trade Center, 29th November, 14:00 and 19:00
Jagelló út, 1-3 [map]
Buda, XII, Hegyalja út, (T61), 2 min

If you get excited with all the hoopla that surrounds the commercials during the Super Bowl in America then this is your night. It's where you'll find the cream of the crop as far as commercials are concerned. Some 600 advertisements from around the world, the best of the best, the most controversial, all packed into one afternoon or night (depending on which showing you choose).

If you don't get your fill of advert bombardment on the day to day, why not sit through several hours of it? Honest though, it should be quite the sight to see, especially with a compilation done by Michel Gondry.
