This year’s One Screen Short Film Festival Best in Show award went to “The Escape”, the latest BMW Films work by Geisel Productions and Anonymous Content. This short stood out among works submitted from 45 countries.
Belonging to The One Club for Creativity, The One Show was the first ad industry awards competition to recognize original branded content, creating the separate new category of Branded Entertainment in 2003 to accommodate the original launch of BMW Films.
One Screen Short Film Festival (http://www.onescreen.org), the premiere short film festival that unites the film and advertising worlds, announced 2017 winners at its annual awards and screening held last night at the Sunshine Cinema in New York.
“One Screen grew significantly in a number of different ways this year,” said Jonathan Jirjis, executive producer, One Screen. “We managed to double the number of entries from around the world, and secured the involvement and support of the San Diego International Film Festival and Free The Bid. Having highly accomplished jurors like Paul Haggis also illustrates how the film industry has embraced the awards.”

He added that One Screen has become a showcase for the passion projects of accomplished filmmakers, as well as a high-visibility forum to recognize promising young talent. “We’re thrilled with the range and quality of work submitted this year and congratulate all of our 2017 winners,” he said.
Aligned with The One Club for Creativity’s ongoing focus to promote diversity and inclusion, One Screen also introduced a new partnership this year with Free The Bid(http://freethebid.com), a non-profit initiative started last year advocating on behalf of women directors for equal opportunities to bid on commercial jobs in the global ad industry.
A separate 10-person jury made up of leading agency/brand creatives and directors selected winners of the One Screen Free The Bid Awards, celebrating stellar work created by women and amplifying the call for diversity in the industry.
