Nominated films were showcased throughout the event, which also included case studies and panel discussions on the best branded films in Europe.
Sightsavers’ film was honoured in the Not for Profit/Giving Back category, in which both charities and corporate entries were accepted. The gold award in the category went to Samaritans an agency Pegasus, for their film ’Small Talk Saves Lives’.
