The Bronswik Affair (French: L'Affaire Bronswik) is a Canadian short film, directed by Robert Awad and André Leduc and released in 1978.[1] An animated mockumentary, the film satirizes advertising and marketing through the story of Bronswik, a fictional manufacturer of television sets which feature special technology designed to disable viewers' ability to resist advertising pitches, spawning a frenzied addiction to consumerism which leads to a political and social crisis.[2]
The film won the Canadian Film Award for Best Theatrical Short Film at the 29th Canadian Film Awards.[3]
