BAF Event: PressPausePlay Screening

The Boise Advertising Federation’s final event for 2011 will be a screening of the film PressPausePlay.

About the film:

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunities.

But does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature or is true talent instead flooded and drowned in the vast digital ocean of mass culture? Is it cultural democracy or mediocrity?

This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era.

The screening is scheduled from 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at the Linen Building in downtown Boise. Cost is $15 for members and $20 for non-members. Attendees are encouraged to bring a canned food item to be donated to the Idaho Foodbank.

RSVP here.

BAF Mixer: Three Ounces + Ice

The Boise Advertising Federation kicks off the 2011 / 2012 season with a mixer / social event this Wednesday, September 14th at Solid in downtown Boise.

The no-host bar event runs from 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. Admission is free for BAF members and $5 for non-members (although I’d be willing to bet they’d let you in for free if you become a member at the door — but I could be wrong).
