The 14th PORSCHE International Student Advertising Film Award 2017 returned to Ludwigsburg, after its debut year in London, where it will return in 2018.
Taking place on Tuesday evening (Nov 21) at the prestigious Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg, the event was a ceremonious affair, with families, friends and filmmakers gathering to celebrate this year’s winners. Even the city’s mayor Werner Spec made a guest appearance.
The non-profit show held in partnership with UK film school, National Film and Television School (NFTS), awarded six cash prizes to film students from schools around the world across Classical and Mobility categories. Each amount playfully referenced the iconic Porsche 911 sports car.
Jury members Head of Creative Services at Publicis Communications Michael M. Maschke (chairman); Czar director/founder Rogier van der Ploeg; Stink founder/president; Daniel Bergmann; Head of International at the NFTS Hemant Sharda; and shots’ very own Olivia Atkins decided the fates of the filmmaker’s futures.
