Two Egyptian agencies and one from the UAE have been shortlisted in the film category at the Cannes Lions festival.
Cairo-based Advantage Marketing & Advertising and Elephant Cairo have been nominated for their ‘Kitchen’, ‘Office‘ and ‘Hospital’ commercials for Panda.
Also shortlisted is Leo Burnet Cairo, which picks up a nomination for its ‘Mother of all Foreign Films’ series of commercials – TVCs that won the agency the film grand prix at this year’s Dubai Lynx. The third shortlisted piece of work is for Impact BBDO and its ‘Emirates Take-off’ TVC for Mercedes-Benz. A total of 359 pieces of work from around the world have made the cut.
In the film craft shortlist, TBWA/Raad
