The Times and Sunday Times are over 270 years old. Traditional advertising could sum up that volume of content in a 60" ad, so we needed to find a marketing solution that could showcase the sheer breadth and depth of nearly three centuries of journalism, and the principles that have guided them. The Unquiet Film Series celebrates the stories behind the stories, forming a remarkable picture of what makes a modern newspaper. Featuring musings on the art of writing from Caitlin Moran, first-hand accounts from kidnapped war correspondents, and even the story of Times New Roman. Each of the eleven films is uniquely different and important in it's own right.
