Mr. Mohammed Al-Shikely |
Al Shikely explained that The Night of the AdEaters is an established and anticipated annual event that has taken place in 160 cities across 50 countries, from France, Geneva, Russia, and Japan to China, Santiago de Chile, Mexico, and many other countries. It was created in 1981 by Frenchman Jean Marie Boursicot, and has grown into one of the most interesting festivals and quickly conquered France and the rest of the world. On the menu usually are many films, some of which have never been shown in this format. International, exotic, even historic in flavor (going from 1898 to the present), the offering translates the vitality and the trends from the different parts of the world of advertising. He Concluded by affirming that ads are actually the reflection of a society in transition, therefore, if you ever want to find out what a country is like at this particular time and moment, all you have to do is look at the 100 most successful ads, not necessarily the best ads to find out. The Night of the AdEaters will have two shows to be held at the Palm Gardens, Muscat Intercontinental Hotel on October 24 and 25, 2007.
