Advertising, Brandalism and Subvertising

Underground filming reveals a world of subverted content

Our long association with top online learning provider, The Open University, meant trust and collaboration were key to the success of shining a light on the little-known areas of subvertising and brandalism.

"This film is an excellent introduction to brandalism and subvertising. It was a pleasure to collaborate with Hamlett Films on this important and timely film."

Hamlett Films used a range of innovative filming techniques to illustrate how adverts are removed and replaced with subverted content. Key issues around who controls public spaces were unlocked for first year undergraduate students in this arresting film.
