Awards The shortlist for the Swiss Edi 07 Corporate and Advertising Film Award is quite long.
The Swiss Commissioned and Advertising Film Award has an exceptional year ahead: About one-third more films were submitted than last year. With 264 films, the Edi has set a new record (See: )
That, combined with the impressive quality of the film productions, has resulted in the most extensive shortlist in the Edi’s eight-year history. Instead of 17, as was the case last year, there are now 30 commercials on the shortlist. In addition, there are 17 contenders for an Edi in the Clips & Trailers category and 10 in the Corporate Films category.
The submitted entries were evaluated by independent jury teams for each category. Each team consists of seven experts from the fields of film, client agencies, and the advertising industry. The names of the jury members and their evaluation criteria can be found in detail at www.werbewoche.ch, along with further information on the three shortlists: Commercials, Corporate, and Clips & Trailers.
Shortlist Screening The shortlist screening offers an overview of the 2007 films in all categories. «There’s hardly a better opportunity to see the best of Swiss filmmaking,» says the Swissfilm Association.
