The AICP today launched a series of short films, giving a rare glimpse into the unique AICP Show Curatorial Process. The films, directed by Christopher Fox, can be viewed below. The AICP Show Curatorial Committee is comprised of a diverse array of industry leaders, working in all disciplines that contribute to creating marketing in the motion image. The Curatorial Committee is part of a bifurcated judging system, which begins with a series of judging panels from across the country, with experts in various fields judging work across the 23 categories in the Show. New Categories this year include: Concept, Cause, and Music Video.
The 2017 AICP Show Curatorial Committee was led by Lisa Mehling of Chelsea Pictures, this year’s AICP Show Chairperson. The Committee is the final arbiter in the disposition of the Show, confirming eligibility and appropriateness to category; each year’s installment of the AICP Show is made a part of the Department of Film at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. This year’s curators included:

The long-format piece examines what makes great work, and how the process works. The additional two pieces take a tongue-in-cheek look at buzzwords, and words used to kill work. The cross-section of leading industry experts met for two days in April to decide the final disposition of the Show.
