Every year, the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards present the Dolphin Trophies in gold, silver, black, blue, and white at Palm Beach Cannes to honor the best corporate films, online media, documentaries, and reports. It is the only festival for corporate films in Cannes, France, one of the world's most significant film hubs. The competition is open to international films and productions that have been broadcast or published online. Experienced jury members then evaluate the submitted entries. This jury consists of film experts (including Oscar and Emmy winners) as well as professionals from the marketing and communications industry. The festival welcomes filmmakers, clients, agencies, television stations, and students from all over the world.
The festival, which has established itself at the forefront of global corporate film festivals, was founded in 2010 by Filmservice International was founded and has enjoyed consistent growth from the very beginning. This has been achieved through a steadily increasing number of submissions, high-profile participants, innovative and high-quality entries, prominent jury members, and numerous participating countries.
Gold for Panda Pictures
Last autumn, we also participated in this festival with our film BMW i3 EfficientDynamics “Sumo” and took home one of the coveted Gold Dolphin trophies winning. Out of nearly 1,000 different submissions across 41 categories, it was one of the few to impress at the 2017 Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards. The film is an online commercial for BMW AG. In this humorous film, we follow two sumo wrestlers through their daily lives; they were flown into Germany specifically for the shoot. We are incredibly proud of the entire team and are already looking forward to more trips to Cannes. Haven't seen the winning film yet? You can catch up now:
