The complete list of 97 shortlisted entries from Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Georgia, Hungary, India, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and US can be viewed here.
This year’s entries were judged by a jury of leading film directors, producers, agency creatives, and production company heads from around the world.
The fast-growing global festival focuses on all forms and aspects of short films — narrative fiction, comedy, passion projects, commercials, branded content, music videos, spec work, animation, sound, movie poster design, title sequences, etc. — and has a mission to celebrate and award filmmakers from around the world working in both the film and ad industries with no limitation and total artistic freedom, all on one screen.
As part of The One Club, One Screen has its pedigree in the non-profit organization’s prestigious One Show, a leading global awards program for advertising and design. 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 first work from BMW Films.
The One Screen Short Film Festival was launched in 2011 to further honor creative excellence in film. An archive of past winners is available here.
