Skellefteå Kraft: 100 % renewable advertising

100 % renewable advertising funds research that could save the planet.
In the films we see commercials from 1960 reused with new voice-overs pointing customers to sign-up for Skellefteå Kraft’s offering: 100 % renewable force. We get the message that money saved by using old clips instead funds important climate-friendly research into solar power.

Carrefour Retail: Misty Mountain Man


Film
Carrefour

Christmas is about magic and larger-than-life stories. In this case a weird story serves as a white lie on christmas eve. A lumberjack who lives in the misty mountains takes center stage in a father’s phantasy. Alone with nature he grows his own kind of trees. In his tree nursery the trees are all slanted. Even his small hut is full of objects and furniture which is bent in the same way. Nevertheless his son hesitates to buy into the story his dad came up with. It rather seems to be a nice white lie to excuse his failure.
