All Grand Prix Cannes Lions

International Advertising Festival Cannes Lions appeared in 1954, when at the Cannes Film Festival introduced a new nomination "promotional film." What happened to festival then, we all know. This Oscar of the advertising industry, is the pinnacle to which most aspire to creatives. "Cannes Lions" is already 56. He did not see the emergence of the industry, but was a witness and an engine of development. From a three-minute stop-Motion cartoon toothpaste Chlorodont to the gorilla playing the drums.

We have talked about all the Grand Prix Press & Outdoor category for the last 15-20 years of the history of the festival. The rollers, which are collected in this material - it's winners of the Film category from 1954 to 2010. We have an opportunity to see what it was advertising the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, then what ideas were what won work on major advertising forum. They produce mixed feelings. On the one hand the imperfection of technology, total naiveté and perfect our modern view of what is happening in the trash advertising. But on the other hand, looking at the three-minute spots, sometimes very clearly realize how old advertising and how you are young and inexperienced.

For 56 years at the Cannes Film Festival, the jury in the category Film awarded 68 Grand Prix. Awards more than a year, because the 1959 and 1979 winner in the category Film almost always had two: one was determined from the rollers, televised, and another - in cinemas. That is, it turns out that the event of 2008, when the Grand Prix went to both the campaign for Halo 3 and gorillas Cadbury, is not something out of the ordinary. The Organizing Committee Cannes Lions just returned to the long-known objective method.

For your convenience, we divided all Grand Prix in the Film category for 5 decades. Each decade is represented in a separate review.
