CITY FILMS BEIRUT

WINS THREE FINALISTS

AT THE 26TH ANNUAL

LONDON INTERNATIONAL AWARDS

(London, 14 November 2011) The 26th LIA judging was held at the Wynn/Encore Hotel in Las Vegas, convening over a ten-day period. The juries, led by their respective Jury Presidents, viewed and scored every entry within their medium ensuring that all the work was judged equally. They concluded with final discussions to determine Grand LIAs, Statue Winners and Finalists.

City Films, Beirut won three Finalists at LIA 2011. All three Finalists were won in TV/Cinema/Online Film - Technique. For their work for Counter Terrorism titled “Bodies” they garnered the Finalists for Direction and Cinematography; the other Finalist was for “UNRWA” Zain Telecom in Music Adaptation.

“We are happy to showcase the work form City Films, Beiruit,” remarked Barbara Levy, President of LIA. “It is always very encouraging when we see emerging markets making a mark in our Show.”

This year only three Grand LIAs were awarded.

Crispin Porter + Bogusky, Boulder has won the Grand LIA in The NEW Category for American Express OPEN “Small Business Saturday.”

Marshall Street Editors, London was awarded a Grand LIA in the Medium of TV/Cinema/Online Film – Technique for Heineken “The Entrance.”

JWT, Shanghai was awarded a Grand LIA in the medium of Print for Samsonite Suitcase titled “Heaven and Hell.”

Of the 14,283 submissions, from 79 countries, less than four percent (3.6%) attained Shortlist status. Of those elite selections, only 0.4% won Gold Statues; 0.7% Silver Statues; 0.9% Bronze Statues and 1.5% Finalist. The vast number of submissions reflects the prestige and explosive growth of the London International Awards since its inception in 1986 when only 2,600 submissions were entered.

LIA has also awarded Network of the Year, Agency of the Year and Post-Production Company of the Year. These winners were decided based on the outstanding work chosen by the Juries across all media.
