Chwast’s clever design featuring a sketch of a lion in bright colors with a filmstrip forming its open mouth and the numbers 34 seen in its eyes, advertises not the famous Cannes Film Festival in France but the American premiere of the 34th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity at Lincoln Center in New York, an event for members of the advertising and communications industries. At the festival, “Lions” are awarded for work in various categories.
