As another Cannes Lions Festival Of Creativity bids us bon-voyage, we'll ignore the taxi strikes, celebrity goings-on and amorous couple on the red carpet and instead focus on the work. Our media team have been franticly compiling all of the credits and films for winners from around the world to make sure you can pinpoint your next creative collaborators – members can check out the full listing here. In the meantime, here are the Grand Prix winners from three of the big filmic categories:

Film Grand Prix

Geico, Unskippable


Leica, 100
 

A delightful 101 Lions were awarded this year in Film, including these dual Grand Prix. In the TV/Cinema category, F/NAZCA Saatchi & Saatchi São Paulo won for Leica Institutional, 'Leica Gallery São Paulo', which Jury President Tor Myhren, President and Worldwide Chief Creative Officer of Grey, described as being a 'nearly unanimous' decision by the jury. Of The Martin Agency Richmond's work for Geico, 'Unskippable: Family Long Form 01'. Myrhen said, "This broke every rule that we know in filmmaking. In the least sexy media space available, pre-roll, GEICO made content so good they challenge you not to watch. But of course, you can't take your eyes off it."

Branded Content Grand Prix



…er, there wasn't one. Jury President, David Lubars, Chief Creative Officer, BBDO Worldwide, said that this year the jury had been unable to find "a unique element that we will still be talking about in 10 years' time," which he attribtued to the developing nature of the discipline. "The lack of Grand Prix demonstrates that this is a maturing industry where advertisers and agencies are still learning how to make credible branded content." 'The Ice Bucket Challenge', pictured above, won a couple of Golds, with 63 Lions being award in total.
