The story
An iconic French concept hits the big screen in Sydney for the first time.
La Nuit de l'Advertising [pronounced lah nwee duh l'Advertising] is the Australian premiere of a French tradition, created by Jean-Marie Boursicot, that began in cinemas across France and has since toured the world. The Alliance Française de Sydney brings the format to the Hayden Orpheum's giant screen for one night only: two curated sessions of the world's most iconic, strange, and brilliant advertising, in a high energy screening, packed with surprises between reels.
