Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards 2020
11th Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards – Cinecore Motion Pictures GmbH is the big winner in an unusual festival year
Cannes, November 26th. 844 films from 41 countries entered the competition at the 11th edition of the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards. Out of these, 196 entrants reached finalist status and 136 films were awarded a dolphin trophy.
Grand Prix and Blue Dolphin
For the second time in a row, the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards’ highest accolade, the White Dolphin, went to Germany. Cinecore Motion Pictures GmbH from Stuttgart convinced the jury with their elaborate production “THE BLUE WAY next exit”. “In this movie, the towering power of imagination meets the delight and pleasure of creativity in an outstandingly productive way. This interdependence led to a brilliant work of art, which showcases and unites the best of all worlds in storytelling and all other arts and crafts. State-of-the- art professional craftsmanship helped telling the story, which is told in the spirit of time, in a most luminous and awe-inspiring way. We get to see a world worth living in. “, jury president Peter Beck stated about the jury’s decision.
Over and above the Grand Prix, Cinecore celebrated three Golden Dolphins and three Black Dolphins (Best Director, Best Camera, Best Sound Design) for their productions “THE BLUE WAY next exit” and “For Peter – Bentley InnoMed”. The Blue Dolphin for Best Production Company was handed over to Cinecore, too.
A year without Awards Days in Cannes
Caused by the very challenging and unusual year 2020, the 11th Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards had to go ahead without the traditional, festive Awards Days in Cannes. The development of the COVID-19 situation ultimately made it impossible to arrange a safe and joyous international event.
The jury members were confronted with an unfamiliar situation, too: for the first time, all jury sessions and discussions took place virtually. Nevertheless, everybody was inspired and motivated to discuss the entries passionately.
Finalist Certificate
From 2020 on, the Cannes Corporate Media & TV Awards offer an exclusive honor for high-quality films that didn’t receive an award by a hairbreadth. The new Finalist Certificates will be awarded each year from now on and were absorbed happily by the winners.
International winners
The strong international aspect of this year’s competition is underlined by various winners from all around the world, such as Double Exposure Productions, Forward and NQLA Studio from the Middle East or Timeframe Films / Moon Patrol VR, Richter Studios and Visual Contact from North America. Moreover, productions from the UK were highly represented by submissions from Media Zoo, Plastic Pictures, Radley Yeldar, Shell International, The Edge Picture Company and RD Content, just to name a few.
