			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">By now we all know that many media (such as radio, the newspaper and even television) are going through hard times. In fact, their struggles have been continuously tracked and screamed from the rooftops. Nevertheless, not all media have been as lucky in getting as much exposure. In fact, some have gradually been forgotten.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Stella Artois brings a largely residual advertising medium back to life in this stunning short documentary about wall painted advertisements. All while beautifully capturing the emotions and perspectives of a shrinking group of skilled painters that continuously struggle to keep their trade alive, Stella Artois exposes a largely unsung side of advertising.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It is mesmerizing to think of how quick we have forgotten about a medium, that no so long ago, was an industry standard! Although this form of advertising is virtually obsolete, I think that it can connect with consumers in a highly relevant way, as they will tend to recognize &amp; appreciate its artistic merits, rather than see it as a mass-produced commercial message of limited value. At the end of the day this medium also serves as a valuable reminder that advertising is an art in itself! Enjoy the video and let me know what you think! Can such a medium still be used successfully in this day and age? Is it of any value to the industry? What is your take on the subject?</p>
