EVCOM London Film Awards Shortlist
The pandemic has meant that film has had to get even more creative than usual over the last year a half, using user generated content, small teams and animation to combat the restrictions around live action filming. This shortlist is a showcase of some of the best work being created in our industry right now, work that shows an ability to adapt, innovate and make beautiful, effective film. We had a really strong number of entries this year, so even to make it to the shortlist is a huge achievement. Congratulations to you all!

EVCOM London Live Awards Shortlist
The last year has been a huge struggle for the events sector so we were delighted to see so many exciting and creative entries on this side of the awards. Many of the entries were either virtual or hybrid, and it’s a fantastic testament to the way that event organisers have adapted and learnt whole new skillsets in the past few months. The judges were particularly impressed with virtual events that were filmed to a broadcast quality but had the interactivity of an event. Congratulations to all of the shortlisted projects!
