Loeries Creative Week is the largest gathering of its kind in the region, bringing together the very best in the industry for a festival of networking, celebration, and recognition of great work.

Annually, this category sees entries from across the region and is awarded to exceptionally well-crafted and executed brand communications work in the film category.

As always, deliberation was tough, as the judges examined each entry closely.

“As can be expected, the Loeries Film and Film Crafts panels had robust discussions and I am really proud of the results,” says Loeries CEO, Preetesh Sewraj, “I know that the winning work will serve as the benchmark for greater Film innovation across Africa and the Middle East.”
