Leo Burnett has an annual tradition of picking their Cannes Lions favourites. And they usually have a screening of their picks and invite the advertising community for viewing.

Interestingly, I have written about the work for Transport for London, Doghouse, Axe ‘So Cute’, Hovis, Volkswagen Golf, Adidas and T-Mobile Life is for sharing over the last few months. Not a bad strike rate, eh?
I have seen most of the films in the playlist – the Nike ‘fate’ one was fantastic in terms of production (though I didn’t get it the first time around); the Comfort one is simply audacious in terms of laddering the benefit of soft, comfortable clothes and there are several others with great production.

From India, has the Times of India, Chennai one (Naaka mukka) one entered? If so, that has a chance.
