Ford Fiesta Zeitgeist in Berlin
Ford has launched a television commercial for the Fiesta, known as “Zeitgeist” and “This is Now”. The 60 second spot shows a Ford Fiesta traveling through the streets of Berlin, keeping pace with screens featuring a range of visual arts.
A range of screens travel through the streets and parks of Berlin at night, featuring video art from 29 different film directors, accompanied by “Transient”, a track by Swedish group, Pluxus. Finally the screens morph to a red Ford Fiesta. “This is now”.
